Overtime - Distribution by Seniority. Overtime shall be distributed to employees in the bargaining unit within each department in order of bargaining unit seniority if the employee meets the qualifications or needs. Each semester employees will be given the opportunity to indicate their interest in overtime. Site training, where necessary, will be conducted during the summer and at least once a semester to qualify the employee. In the event that an employee is absent during a training session, every reasonable effort shall be made to provide training to the interested employee at the earliest opportunity for both parties. If the employee with the greatest bargaining unit seniority elects to refuse the overtime assignment, it shall be offered to employees in the bargaining unit in descending order of seniority until the assignment is made. Refusal by a senior employee in the bargaining unit of any overtime assignment shall not waive his or her right under this section to be offered any subsequent overtime assignment in order of seniority.
