Requests for Overtime. When overtime is necessary, the Union Xxxxxxx of the department concerned and the employees shall be notified as soon as possible before the shift ends. Overtime shall be by mutual consent and shall be offered to the most senior employee(s) on the shift, in the department, by classification, and thereafter in descending order of seniority, providing the employee has the ability and qualifications to perform the required work. Overtime will then be offered in order of seniority to qualified employees within the department. Finally, overtime will be offered in order of seniority to qualified employees outside the department. It is further understood that the efficient operation of the business may require overtime and in this event the most junior employee(s), subject to Section 6.01, on the shift, by classification, in increasing order of seniority, who have the ability and qualifications to perform the work, shall then do the required work, but no employee shall be required to work an unreasonable amount of overtime. For the purpose of Article 6.05, General Labour 1 and 2 will be combined into one classification, Semi-Skilled 1 and 2 will be combined into one classification and Skilled 1 and 2 will be combined into one classification. For the Maintenance department, overtime will be offered by trade. If any qualified employee is inadvertently missed in this rotation more than one time in a row, then the Company agrees to pay said employee the amount of overtime that said employee should have worked had the Company followed the above procedure.
