Charter Assignments. (a) Dedicated charter drivers have first priority for all charter assignments. (b) Charter work will then be assigned to qualified drivers on a rotating basis, whenever possible, based on proximity, route timing, vehicle type and seniority. There will be no rotation for year round weekend contract charters (ex. church charter). Initial assignment will be by seniority. (c) The Company will advise the assigned driver of the details relating to the charter. The driver will be responsible to obtain the charter paperwork which will be made available by the Company. After a driver completes an assigned charter, he/she cannot obtain another charter until the next rotation. (d) Every effort will be made to follow the rotation to accommodate last minute requests for emergency field trips and charters. Due to unforeseen circumstances, if it is not possible to follow the rotation, the Company may assign a driver at its discretion. (e) Drivers with assigned routes may not be eligible to be selected for a charter if their assigned route times conflict with charter departure or return time. (f) In order to allow for fair distribution of charters, drivers are expected to cover both long and short charters. (g) A driver may be assigned a charter out of rotation if requested by the customer. The Company will document the details of the request and will provide a copy to the Union Chairperson. In this case the driver will be passed when his/her turn in the rotation arrives. Customer requests may be denied if the request results in increased charter/field trip run time. (h) It is expected that dedicated charter drivers may be assigned to cover a route when there is no route time charter work. In this case, the dedicated charter driver may be assigned to perform as a spare driver and will be paid the spare driver rate of pay in accordance with Schedule “A”. (i) Employees may not switch charters with other employees unless approved by the Company or in the case of an emergency, when the Company cannot be contacted.
