Line and Substation Operations Department Hours Sample Clauses

Line and Substation Operations Department Hours. The parties hereto agree to work together to make the best productive use of the employees’ hours at work. To that end, lunch breaks will be scheduled as near to the middle of the shifts as practical, so that the two half shifts each day are of approximately equal length. Flexibility will be provided to allow for the individual job requirements. Rest periods (breaks) will normally be taken in such a way that the work site does not have to be dismantled then set up all over again. For the Line and Substation Operations Department rest periods, including lunch, shall normally be taken at the work site, with the hours of work adjusted to 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. with the half hour lunch period paid at regular rates. Line and substation employees shall come prepared every day to eat in the field. The provision of the $10.00 for remaining at the work site, in Article 13.04 will no longer apply. When emergency work has prevented the line or substation crew from taking a lunch break and the crew can later break for the half hour lunch before the end of the shift, then the meal is paid by the Company. The normal lunch for the line and substation employees shall start between 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., unless otherwise mutually agreed by the crew to be otherwise, or when emergency circumstances dictate an altered lunch break. The hours of work as listed below shall be effective as of April 7, 2003: Normal Hours All Year Round Lines, Substations Dispatch 40 hours 7:30am - 3:30pm 1/2 hour paid lunch
