Field Trip Assignment Clause Samples

Field Trip Assignment. All field trips will be offered on a rotating basis in the order of seniority. A weekly field trip schedule will be posted in the bus garage. The driver at the top of the seniority list will have first choice of the posted field trip(s) scheduled for any given day. Field trips shall be offered to the eligible driver at the top of the list however, if the field trip hours will make the bargaining unit member exceed 40 hours in a week in accordance with Section 7.4.1, the driver shall be rotated to the bottom of the list. A driver who accepts the field trip shall then be rotated to the bottom of the list, a driver who rejects a trip shall also be rotated to the bottom of the list. Drivers shall not trade places on the list. If the first eligible driver rejects a trip, that trip shall be offered, in succession, to each of the eligible regular drivers on the list.

If the Coordinator cannot be reached, the driver already assigned to the trip will get his/her own substitute for the trip, starting with the first driver in the regular rotation.

A driver assigned a field trip which is cancelled shall be next up in the rotation. If a driver is up in rotation for a make-up trip and also in regular rotation, he/she will not be skipped over twice for the same trip. Driving time for field trips will begin fifteen (15) minutes before the time a driver is to arrive at the pickup point. If the trip is cancelled after the driver reports for the trip, the driver will be paid two (2) hour "show-up pay" and will be offered a trip in regular rotation. If the driver waives "show-up pay", he/she will be offered the next available unassigned trip. To qualify for the "show-up pay" or "next available trip" options, the driver must keep the Coordinator informed of where he/she may be contacted in the time prior to the...
