Normal Workweek. The normal workweek shall be defined as five (5) consecutive eight (8) hour days (5x8) or four (4) consecutive ten (10) hour days (4x10) within a standard week of Sunday through Saturday, exclusive of a thirty (30) minute unpaid meal period. An employee may volunteer to schedule their workweek as non-consecutive days. The maximum number of Saturdays and or Sundays which an employee can be required to work at the straight-time rate of pay shall be limited to a ratio of 1 in 3. Saturdays and or Sundays worked in excess of this ratio will be paid at the overtime rate of pay. This ratio may be calculated over a several week period to account for the rotating of weekend duty. To calculate the ratio the number of Saturdays and Sundays worked over a period of time is divided by the total number of Saturday and Sundays that occurred during that same period of time. If an employee takes paid time off for a Saturday or Sunday they were scheduled to work, those days shall be counted for the purpose of calculating the 1 in 3 ratio. PTO may include vacation, holiday, sick leave and bereavement leave. A Saturday or Sunday worked at the overtime rate of pay shall not be counted when calculating the ratio. An employee may volunteer to work more Saturdays and Sundays than the 1 in 3 ratio at the straight-time rate of pay. The employees of each individual shift shall establish and coordinate their schedules with their respective shift xxxxxxx such that the aggregate coverage meets the required staffing defined by management.
