HOURS OF WORK AND WAGES. Section A. The employer reserves the right to determine the schedule and the hours of work. However, in no event shall employees be assigned a permanent schedule that, if annualized, would exceed 2935 hours per year. If the employer changes its schedule so that the employee is permanently scheduled to work less than 2600 hours per year then the hourly wage rate for that employee will be adjusted as follows: The appropriate hourly wage rate shown in the wage table in Section B multiplied by 2600 and divided by the annual total of hours to be worked in the new schedule. Section B. Hourly rates are set forth below in attached Exhibit B. Annual salaries are calculated based on all scheduled hours times the appropriate wage rate, including scheduled overtime rates. For ease of calculation, the Employer will use 2978 times the straight wage rate to calculate annualized compensation, where 2978 is based on 2920 hours scheduled including 164 hours of overtime pursuant to §7(k) of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Recall rate. Recall and extra hours worked for employees working on the 24/48 schedule will be authorized by the chief and be paid at the applicable hourly rates stated above. Fill in hours other than a full shift will be limited to a maximum of 12 hours between scheduled shifts unless specifically authorized by the Chief. Section C. In order to change the schedule, the employer must give 30 days advance notice of that change to the Union in writing. Section D. A listing of open slots in the schedule for the following month will be posted by the 22nd of the current month where bargaining unit employees may sign up to work additional hours according to the policy of the Department. Sign-ups will be on a seniority basis however the parties agree that changes to this selection process may be made by the unanimous vote of the Labor Management Committee.
