Overtime (Customer Operations and Construction. 20.6.1 Due to occasional weather-related challenges and the fluctuating nature of our customers’ service needs, there are times when all necessary work cannot be completed during the normal work day and overtime becomes necessary. 20.6.2 Whenever possible qualified volunteers should be used to perform such overtime work as long as there is no negative impact on customer service, there is no increased cost to manage the business and an unsafe working condition will not be created. 20.6.2.1 Local Union and management representatives will jointly develop local processes designed to identify and utilize volunteers. These processes can vary by work location to fit local needs. They will be utilized whenever the use of volunteers will meet the needs of our service. 20.6.3 When the workload is so significant that the use of volunteers alone will not meet service needs, it is understood that employees and their supervisors will work together to ensure that the employee’s need for time off and the Company’s need to have all employees work a share of overtime will both be accommodated. During such times, employees who need to be excused from working overtime for either all or part of a given day for important personal reasons should inform their supervisor of the need as soon as possible. Examples include doctor or dental visits for themselves or a family member, weddings or other similar significant family events or occasional child or elder care responsibilities.
