Pay Period Assignment of Deck Officers. The Employer shall dispatch to each vessel and the Union semi-monthly, a list of all Deck Officer’s working regular, and relief positions. Any Deck Officer who works fifty-six (56) hours or more in any given work period at a classification higher than the Deck Officer’s regularly assigned classification, (i.e., Master to Staff Master) shall be paid for the entire eighty (80) hour work period at the rate of pay applicable to the highest classification worked by the Deck Officer during that work period. In the event that a Deck Officer is wrongfully bypassed by a less senior Deck Officer for such assignments, the bypassed Deck Officer shall be paid the wages, including travel time, the Deck Officer would have received if the Deck Officer had not been so bypassed.
