Rest Period for Employees on 12-Hour Shift Schedules. If a 12-hour employee’s rest period overlaps into their scheduled shift the employee receives time off with pay up to eight (8) hours, on an hour-for- hour basis, immediately following the employee’s release from work before reporting to a regularly scheduled shift or additional work. In the application of the foregoing, an employee, due to operational needs, may be required to report to work at the end of the employee’s rest period. An employee entitled to a rest period hereunder may nevertheless be required to work during regular work hours on a workday without having had a rest period of eight (8) consecutive hours, in which event the employee shall be paid at the rate of time and one-half the starting rate of pay for all work performed until the employee has been relieve from duty for at least eight (8) consecutive hours. If the rest hours’ entitlement overlaps with the employee’s regular day off, the employee shall not be compensated.
