Common use of Hold Downs Clause in Contracts

Hold Downs. Hold downs will be posted for full time runs only. Extra Board people desiring to bid on a Hold Down must be available for the duration of the Hold Down. If a regular Operator elects to do an extra piece of work for the duration of the bid and then goes on vacation, that piece will be posted along with the regular bid for the Hold Down period and the Extra Board Operator assigned will work as the regular Operator. Forced bids/Open Runs: If the open run that is to be forced is an AM run, the least senior Operator available on the AM board will be assigned that run. If the open run that is to be forced is an PM run, the least senior Operator available on the PM board will be assigned that run. Sick-out Hold Downs will be posted the Sunday after an employee has been on Sick-out a week and will be for the duration of the Sick-out. Should an employee take individual days such as vacation days or incentive hours for a consecutive week, the Company shall post this as a hold down. Should the employee choose to cancel any of the individual days that are posted as a hold down, they must do this before the hold down is taken down by 3:00 P.M. on Wednesday. Any slot not filled will be run off the Extra Board. All specials when posted shall have a posted sign on-time and unless made a part of the daily assignment will have a guarantee of four hours. To ensure run coverage, employees who are off sick must call in one (1) hour before their report time for the first two (2) days. All Extra Board Operators shall provide a telephone number where they may be contacted by Dispatch. When an Extra Board Operator is released from duty after an assignment, his work day will not be considered completed unless informed of such by the Dispatcher. This provision does not apply to split run assignments. An Extra Board Operator must be given at least eight (8) hours off duty between daily assignments, but has the option of taking ten (10) hours. No employee will be allowed to work more than fifteen hours in one day. Extra Board Operators that have Sunday off will get the holiday off just as the Operator bidding regular runs with Sunday off. The mandatory turnaround from one day’s assignment to the next will be a mandatory eight (8) hour turnaround - ten (10) hours optional. This does not change the mandatory ten (10) hour turnaround between regular runs as bid on at each general bid date. Each Operator will make the decision whether he wants to return to work after eight (8) hours off or ten (10) hours off. Dispatch must be notified after work shift over the eight (8) - ten (10) hour limit. Run Around: If the Extra Board assignments are posted and an operator was missed due to Dispatch error that operator will be paid for hours he would have received. Only one instance of run around can be filed for each day’s assignment. When an operator is assigned overtime work on the Extra Board, his/her card will rotate to the back of the list. This is the only time their card will rotate. An operator shall have the ability to specifically choose “A.M. only” or “P.M. only” shifts for the purpose of over-time for the weekends. Should an operator choose to work an “A.M. only” shift and a P.M. shift is available at the time of distribution of runs, the next available operator shall be used. When the next A.M. run is available, the operator who was bypassed for “A.M. only” shall be assigned the A.M. run (or standby). If at the end of the distribution of runs an operator who has chosen “A.M. only” or “P.M. only” has not been chosen because of their selection of “A.M. only” or “P.M. only” shifts they shall be bypassed. Once the rotation is completed for the day an operator who has been bypassed shall not be “picked up” the following week. Once an operator pulls his card for “AM only” or “PM only” they will have pulled their card for the rest of the bid and shall not be able to put their card back in for the rest of the bid. “A.M. only” or “P.M. only” choices shall not apply to holidays. If Dispatch finds it requires additional operators they will begin calling, starting with the first operator not placed on posted overtime and continuing down. Whether these operators are reached and accept or decline the overtime or are not reached, their card will not rotate. It will stay in the rotation until the operator receives posted overtime in his turn. This will ensure that no operator will miss their chance at overtime, while allowing the Company to cover unexpected shortages of operators. Operators who cannot be reached by phone are not eligible for run around pay. Should an A.M. operator who is on stand-by, whether he is on the extra board or on over-time, be assigned a split where the stand by time plus the first half of the split equals eight (8) hours or more, the operator shall have the option of this total time being their days assignment. If an operator chooses this option, the second half of the split shall be assigned to the appropriate standby operator. If the operator chooses this option due to the standby time plus the first half of the assigned split equaling eight (8) hours or more, and the operator chooses not to do the second half of the assigned split, they must inform dispatch of this choice at the time the split is assigned to the operator. Standby time for the extra board operator shall not be paid at time and a half if the operator does not finish the second half of the split. If the operator chooses to work the second half of the split, he may do so in accordance with the fifteen (15) hour rule. The Company and Union agree this provision will not be applicable when force bidding of operators is occurring due to manpower conditions. Absent force bidding the provision will remain in effect.

The mandatory turnaround from one day’s assignment either go back to the next will be a mandatory eight (8) hour turnaround - ten (10) hours optional. This does not change hold down list or keep the mandatory ten (10) hour turnaround between regular runs as bid on at each general bid date. Each Operator will make run once the decision whether he wants to return to work after eight (8) hours off or ten (10) hours off. Dispatch must be notified after work shift over the eight (8) - ten (10) hour limit. Run Around: If the Extra Board assignments are posted and an operator was missed due to Dispatch error that operator will be paid for hours he would have received. Only one instance of run around can be filed for each day’s assignment. When an operator position is assigned overtime work on the Extra Board, his/her card will rotate to the back of the list. This is the only time their card will rotate. An operator shall have the ability to specifically choose “A.M. only” or “P.M. only” shifts for the purpose of over-time for the weekends.

When the next A.M. run is available, the operator who was bypassed for “A.M. only” shall be assigned the A.M. run (or standby). If at the end of the distribution of runs an operator who has chosen “A.M. only” or “P.M. only” has not been chosen because of their selection of “A.M. only” or “P.M. only” shifts they shall be bypassed.

If Dispatch finds it requires additional operators they will begin calling, starting with the first operator not placed on posted overtime and continuing down. Whether these operators are reached and accept or decline the overtime or are not reached, their card will not rotate. It will stay in the rotation until the operator receives posted overtime in his turn. This will ensure that no operator will miss their chance at overtime, while allowing the Company to cover unexpected shortages of operators. Operators who cannot be reached by phone are not eligible for run around pay. Should an A.M. operator who is on stand-by, whether he is on the extra board or on over-time, be assigned a split where the stand by time plus the first half of the split equals eight (8) hours or more, the operator shall have the option of this total time being their days assignment. If an operator chooses this option, the second half of the split shall be assigned to the appropriate standby operator. If the operator chooses this option due to the standby time plus the first half of the assigned split equaling eight (8) hours or more, and the operator chooses not to do the second half of the assigned split, they must inform dispatch of this choice at the time the split is assigned to the operator. Standby time for the extra board operator shall not be paid at time and a half if the operator does not finish the second half of the split. If the operator chooses to work the second half of the split, he may do so in accordance with the fifteen (15) hour rule. The Company and Union agree this provision will not be applicable when force bidding of operators is occurring due to manpower conditions.
