Normal Work-Day and Work Period Configuration. The normal workday configuration for all employees covered by this Agreement shall consist of shifts of eight hours, eight and one-quarter (8 ¼) hours, ten (10) hours, or twelve (12) hours each. The normal work period configuration shall be eighty (80) compensated hours in each bi-weekly pay period. Each full shift as defined herein shall include lunch and rest periods as provided for in Subd. 2 of this section. There shall be no split shifts. Except when daylight savings time ends, the Employer agrees that employees will not normally be required to work more than 12 consecutive hours. Where other workday configurations are adopted by the Employer which deviate from that described above, the number of hours actually worked by affected employees shall, on the average, be equivalent to the number of hours actually worked by employees under the normal workday/work period configuration described above. In no event, however, such as, for example, with respect to shift changes required by shift rotation, shall such equivalent workday/work period configuration require the payment of overtime.
