PAYMENT OF STEWARDS AND COMMITTEES Sample Clauses

PAYMENT OF STEWARDS AND COMMITTEES. (1) Any qualified employee who is selected by the Union as a Union ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or as a member of any of the committees provided for in this agreement shall be compensated for time lost from work during his or her scheduled hours of work while attending to business, authorized by and with the Employer, resulting from his or her duties as a Union ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or attendance at such committee meetings. Payment will be made at his or her regular straight time hourly wage rate. (2) The members of the Negotiating Committee shall not be required to work on any day upon which the negotiating meeting is held with the Employer. The normal work schedules of the members of the Negotiating Committee shall not be altered to avoid payment of meeting time. Each member of the Negotiating Committee shall be compensated on the basis of the hours he or she would have worked had they been otherwise scheduled to work. Payment will be made on the basis of his or her regular straight time hourly wage rate. For members of the Negotiating Committee only and only for those members of the Negotiating Committee who rely on gratuities for a significant portion of their earnings a further payment of an amount equal to their straight time hourly wage rate shall be made. No member of the Negotiating Committee shall be paid more than he or she would have been entitled to be paid for a regular daily schedule. In other words, if a member of the Negotiating Committee spends time at negotiation meetings which exceeds whatever his or her normal shift would have been for that day, he or she shall not receive any additional compensation from the Employer.
