Common use of Mandatory overtime assignment Clause in Contracts

Mandatory overtime assignment. A. When there is not sufficient number of volunteers for (1), (2), and (3), above, Management may select and assign, on a rotating basis, the most junior trained employee in the work unit who is on duty to work overtime. B. Management will make a good faith effort to avoid requiring an employee to work a mandatory overtime on a consecutive day after working overtime the previous day. No employee shall work more than seventeen (17) hours in a twenty-four (24)-hour period unless there is an extreme emergency or the employee has requested for a special purpose and the manager has approved. When staff are working a mandatory overtime, they shall be assigned the least challenging client and shall not be designated as the primary driver on extended trips. C. Management will give a minimum of one (1)-hour notice of any overtime to be worked, whenever possible. D. An employee who refuses a mandatory opportunity shall be rotated to the bottom of all in-house voluntary overtime list. E. When an employee is required (mandated) to work at least four (4) hours beyond a full shift and when that fact was not known to the employee prior to beginning of the first shift, then upon request, up to one (1) hour of Employer paid time will be allowed between the shifts. If an employee has volunteered to work the overtime then they may take one (1) hour between the shifts but that one (1) hour is not Employer-paid time. The purpose of this time is to make arrangements necessary when the worker is to be away from home unexpectedly at the discretion of the Employer. It is, of course, recognized that bona fide emergencies may exist that would preclude granting time off. Such instances will, however, be held to a minimum and only genuine emergencies will prevent the allowance of such time. When such time is denied between shifts, such time will be allowed at the earliest possible time in the subsequent shift. If a genuine emergency prevents granting of one (1) hour during the second shift, such time shall be accrued as comp time at straight rate. F. Once assigned to work a mandatory overtime and if the employee fails to meet the overtime obligation, their name will remain at the top of the mandatory overtime list until a mandatory overtime obligation is met. Management may look at extenuating circumstances. If a failure to meet a mandatory overtime occurs a second time progressive discipline could begin.
