Rota. A meeting was also held at the mayor’s office in Rota, an island where the population is decreasing and currently estimated at less than 2,000 people. The RARE project was introduced, and a discussion on the Rota Dump site followed. The mayor’s office understood that the current dump is an issue and that the location of another possible dump site has been considered. The acting mayor expressed a desire to improve Xxxx’s solid waste situation. At the time, the Rota Dump site had no cover which allowed a significant amount of exposed waste as presented in Figure 9. Materials observed at the dump site included recyclables like aluminum cans. While a designated sign for recyclables was present, garbage dominated the area (Figure 9). Furthermore, household hazardous wastes like oil filters and paint cans were observed, as well as some used electronic waste (Figure 10). While the municipality has placed signs throughout the site to provide guidance on placement of specific items, different wastes were scattered throughout the site. Although the area exhibiting exposed garbage was large, observations at the back of the site indicated that additional waste was present and overgrown with vegetation. The possible future dump site, a rock quarry, was visited. The team also visited the seaports to evaluate possible waste unloading and shipping options, and other potential sites for waste disposal were assessed. The Rota medical center was visited, and medical waste issues were examined. Currently, the medical center stores red bag waste and sharps for subsequent transport off-island. The medical center reported that it was in the process of obtaining an autoclave for sterilizing the waste.
Rota. 4.6.1 The regular Rota shall be determined by the Employer.
Rota. The initial annual rota is included as an appendix to this agreement. This is scheduled as four 11 hour shifts over 4 days and then 4 days off. This equates to 40 hours paid work every 8 days. The shift pattern is therefore balanced to 35 hours a week worked over16 weeks. Shifts are 11 hours in length which includes 10 hours paid, with 1 hour unpaid break. 15mins paid break can be taken in the 1st half and 15 mins paid break in the second half of each shift. Breaks will not necessarily be taken all at once and can be adjusted in consultation and agreement with the line manager. It will be assumed for the purposes of processing overtime payments that any 1 hour unpaid break will fall in the middle of each shift.
Rota. 1. Each workplace must have a rota indicating the start and end times of shifts, weekly days off and the duration and time of daily breaks (lunch break). The rota must be pre- pared in advance for as long a period as possible. Any employees affected as well as the shop xxxxxxx must be notified of any perma- nent changes to the rota at the latest two weeks before the change comes into effect. If the change applies to more than one employee, it must be negotiated with the shop xxxxxxx in advance. Any employees affected must be notified of temporary changes to the rota at the latest three days before the change comes into effect. If the change applies to a whole de- partment or similar operational entity, the shop xxxxxxx must also be notified. Local agreements can be made regarding the notification periods given above.
