(i) Overtime Distribution. The Parties recognize the following Area Sections for the purposes of this clause: Water/Sewer/Roads, Winter Control, Fleet, Transit Fleet, Parks, Solid Waste. The Employer is not limited to expanding or contracting Geographic Area Sections and can do so in accordance with its Employer rights under the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Overtime hours will first be made available as equitably as possible among the Permanent, and Probationary Employees per Employee classification (including Temporary Employees holding the classification on a limited basis) in the geographic (i.e depot) portion of the area section where the work arises. Such overtime shall then be offered to other qualified Permanent and Probationary Employees in other classifications in the geographic area section where the work arises. Such overtime will then be offered to qualified Temporary Employees in the geographic area section where the work arises, after which, the Employer may get the work done by whatever method the Employer deems efficient. Crews designated as City Wide are considered part of the Geographic Area Section containing their reporting depot, for purposes of this clause. There is a City Wide Geographic Area Section including such sections as line painting, metering, sign shop, traffic signals, and facilities management. In the case of Fleet, overtime is assigned per the above, but is offered in the Mechanical Shop where the work arises, and not by area section . In the event overtime is required in Winter Control, the above will apply, however overtime hours will first be offered to the Permanent and Probationary Winter Control Employee on the route where the work arises (including a Temporary Employee holding a Limited Winter Control position).
