Public Service Snow and Other Emergency Call-In Procedures. The call-in procedure for the Public Service department is based upon a weekly schedule that is initially based upon seniority. Beginning on January 1 of each year, a call-in list for non-snow-related call-ins is created which lists all eligible employees in order of their current seniority with the city. When a need exists for an employee to be called into work on a non-scheduled time, the opportunity shall be offered to the first name on the list. If that person is unavailable or asks not to be called, the hours will be offered to the next name on the list. This process shall be repeated until the opportunity has been filled. On a weekly basis, the last name on the list shall move up to the top of the list and be the first name on the list, and all remaining names shall move down the list. Snow- and other weather-related emergency call-ins shall be based upon the amount of snow anticipated, severity of the storm, and the coverage of routes required. If a storm event is reasonably anticipated, the Supervisor may elect to split shits and have some employees report to work either earlier or later than typically scheduled in order to ensure adequate coverage.
