Overtime Equalization. The assignment of overtime shall be reasonably equalized within classifications. The normal maximum hours officers will be scheduled is (15) fifteen hours. Upon field training competition, probationary officers will begin their total overtime hours on the overtime equalization chart at the average of all members within the officer classification. An overtime equalization chart shall be maintained within the department. The chart shall list all overtime offers and each officer’s declined and accepted hours for each particular offer. Each time an officer is offered overtime, the number of overtime hours worked, or the number of hours declined, will be credited to officer’s chart. The overtime equalization chart shall be posted monthly.
Overtime Equalization a. When awarding overtime as described above, overtime hours will be balanced among employees on an equalization basis to provide the first opportunity to the employee with the least number of overtime hours and the last opportunity to the employee with the highest number of overtime hours. In balancing employees’ hours, employees’ overtime hours will include overtime hours on a straight time basis that are: (a) worked; or (b) offered and declined. If 2 or more employees’ overtime balances are equal, Bid Seniority will govern. Overtime balances will be posted electronically.
(i) The initial establishment of the overtime equalization list at a station will be accomplished by prioritizing employees in descending Bid Seniority order with 0 hours assigned to each. Balances will be zeroed quarterly and employees on the list will be reprioritized in descending bid seniority order. Stations will establish a single station equalization list.
b. No charge will be made to an employee’s overtime balance if overtime is offered and declined during an employee’s scheduled vacation.
c. When a non-probationary employee is placed on a different overtime list, the individual will initially be charged with the average hours of the employees on the list.
d. Probationary employees will be offered overtime only after all other qualified non-probationary employees on the overtime list have been considered. After the completion of probation, an employee will be placed on the overtime list and charged with the average hours of employees on that list, plus the overtime hours actually worked during the employee’s probationary period.
e. Upon returning from a leave of absence, an employee must notify management to be eligible for overtime. Upon returning from any absence of 45 days or more, the employee will be charged with previous balance or the average hours of employees on the list, whichever is greater.
f. No employee will be offered overtime which would require them to work (including their regular shift) in excess of 16 hours in any period of 24 consecutive hours.
Overtime Equalization. The employer shall attempt to equalize the opportunity for overtime worked among employees in the same work unit and job title when feasible.
Overtime Equalization. 16.01 Scheduled overtime (e.g. overtime required for staffing special events) will be evenly distributed when reasonably possible among those employees on the same shift. In the event voluntarily misses a turn at such overtime, the employee shall be considered as having worked that turn insofar as distribution of such overtime is concerned.
16.02 When the Employer requires an employee to work overtime that is not scheduled more than forty-eight (48) hours in advance, the Employer will invite employees to work overtime in accordance with the following procedure:
(a) Employees who are presently at work and who express interest will be invited to work the overtime starting with the full-time employee(s) whose records show has actually worked the least overtime in the past three months.
(b) If insufficient employees volunteer to work overtime, the Employer will advise the most junior qualified worker to perform such work and such work assignment will be for no longer than two (2) hours in duration.
16.03 New hires into the bargaining unit will be credited with the average number of overtime hours of the employees.
16.04 If the Union feels that the overtime has been distributed improperly, they may request and the Employer will provide a copy of their overtime tracking for that classification. Any verified claim of improper distribution shall result in the employee being given an opportunity to work overtime within seven (7) days of verification or if overtime is unavailable, the employee will be paid the missed overtime. Such overtime will not displace another employee.
Overtime Equalization. The Employer will make a good faith effort to equalize the offer of scheduled overtime among employees in the same work unit and classification where training and ability are sufficient to do the work. The Employer, in the selection of employees to work volunteer overtime, shall first select employees from the volunteer over-time sign-up sheet and shall not pre-arrange facility post overtime for employees who are not signed up. The distribution of overtime shall be attempted to be equalized each two-month period beginning on the first day of the calendar month following the effective date of this Agreement or on the first day of any calendar month the Agreement becomes effective.
Overtime Equalization. Employees who are scheduled to flip from Thursday, Friday and Saturday to Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (that is, Sunday is their only day off) will not be allowed to work overtime on the Sunday and they will not be charged for that missed opportunity. All overtime will be voluntary.
Overtime Equalization. Insofar as it is practicable to do so, job assignments during periods of overtime work will be arranged so that overtime is equitably distributed among team members engaged in similar work, on a shift, within groups to be mutually determined. A record of overtime will be posted, or provided otherwise as agreed, in each section and periodically updated as agreed to by the parties.
Overtime Equalization. Base station overtime opportunities (including overtime at alternate airports with- in the same metropolitan area) shall be distributed as equally as possible among those available qualified employees who are shown on an overtime list as having accrued the least number of overtime hours. Employees will not be required to sus- pend work during regular working hours to absorb overtime. An employee tem- porarily transferred to a position not covered by this Agreement shall be charged on the overtime list at the applicable rate for overtime hours he would have been offered had he not been reassigned and will not be considered as available for over- time work until he has reported for two consecutive regular scheduled shifts. The following equalization rules are to be followed:
1. Overtime hours worked or declined by an employee will be recorded as equivalent straight time hours paid or offered, in one-hour increments, rounded to the nearest full hour. No charge will be made if overtime is cancelled.
2. Employees who are physically restricted from working overtime or are absent from work shall not be called for overtime work or charged. Employees who are physically restricted from working overtime or are absent for forty-five (45) consecutive days or more shall, upon their return, be charged the average overtime hours of the employees on their overtime list or their own overtime hours, whichever is greater.
3. Overtime opportunities of one (1) hour or less will not be charged.
4. Refused overtime opportunities when less than one (1) hour advance notice is given will not be charged.
5. Holiday work, one (1) hour minimum overtime payments, short turn arounds, premium rate training, pay for inadequate notice, etc., while paid at premium rates, are not subject to these overtime distribution rules.
6. Employees without a phone number listed for overtime contact will auto- matically be charged when they would have been called.
7. Employees who are absent a scheduled shift shall not be considered avail- able for overtime work until they have reported for a regular scheduled shift.
8. Overtime balances shall be posted in places accessible to all employees affected except by local agreement between the Union and the Company. Overtime balances shall not be zeroed. Overtime balances will be reduced periodically by subtracting the same number from all totals on an overtime list.
9. When an employee is placed on a different overtime list, he shall be charged with the averag...
Overtime Equalization. When overtime work is scheduled by the Company, it shall be distributed in an equalized manner amongst the employees in the classification usually performing such work. The Company retains the exclusive right to determine when an overtime opportunity will be performed. The Company recognizes the equity of maintaining minimum differentials in the overtime hours amongst all employees within the classification. The opportunity for overtime work shall first be offered to employees within the classification who are at work at the time of the scheduling, and thereafter to employees within the classification who are not at work at the time of the scheduling. If no employee volunteers for the overtime assignment, the Company has the right to offer the overtime opportunity to employees in another classification. Where the overtime opportunity is mistakenly given to an employee outside the classification because the Company did not canvas all available employees in the classification where the opportunity arose, the employee who should have received the overtime opportunity shall be paid as if he or she had worked the overtime opportunity. The with the least credited overtime hours in the classification will be offered the overtime opportunity first. An employee who is absent from work at the time of the scheduling will not be considered available for the overtime opportunity. Should the employee return to his or her work prior to the end of the shift in which the overtime opportunity was scheduled, he or she shall be considered for the overtime opportunity. If no employee volunteers to accept the overtime hours, the Company shall have the right to assign overtime to qualified employees who possess the least seniority until the necessary complement is reached. If required to work mandatory overtime a meal ticket valued at twenty dollars ($20.00) will be provided. An employee placed on an overtime roster because of hire, recall or transfer in the classification is to be charged with the average number of hours assigned the employees within the same classification. The average number of hours shall be determined by totalling the number of overtime hours charged to a classification in the department roster and dividing the total number of employees on the roster that are in the classification. The Company has the right to take into consideration the safety aspect of scheduling overtime. As long as full-time employees are available and willing to work the overtime as re...
Overtime Equalization. A) Any opportunity for overtime which is not worked will be charged against that employee as refused. An opportunity is defined as any attempt to contact an employee. Multiple attempts to contact an employee for the same overtime opportunity will be treated as one. Refusals, as defined above, will be charged with the same amount of time as actually worked (straight time equivalent) by the employee or employees who responded to that callout.
B) A departmental overtime equalization list will be posted in each department on a weekly basis. This list will be reset on the first pay period of each year with employees retaining their respective positions. Each employee will have their equalized hours reduced by the amount held by the low overtime employee on that list. Overtime opportunities outside of the employee's headquarters area will be charged against the employee for overtime equalization purposes.
C) Employees will not normally be contacted for overtime opportunities while on sick leave, Xxxxxx's Compensation, funeral leave, jury duty, or out of the area on Company or Union business. Employees will not normally be contacted for overtime opportunities while on vacation (includes the weekend before, after, and during a vacation period), unless they notify the Company that they wish to be eligible for overtime on the weekend before and/or after a specific vacation period. This includes individual vacation days. Employees under this provision who are called by mistake will not be charged.
D) An employee who is by-passed for an overtime opportunity, except as permitted in this document or other legitimate reasons, will receive (2) hours at the applicable overtime rate. This provision will take effect after the automated calling system has been installed and sufficiently tested, and will be reviewed by the Oversight Committee one (1) year later unless mutually agreed otherwise. It is mutually agreed that if the automated calling system is not operational by June 1, 1996, the Oversight Committee will meet to address the situation.
