Common use of Scheduled Overtime Distribution Clause in Contracts

Scheduled Overtime Distribution. Overtime distribution lists shall be established to provide for distribution of available overtime, as equitably as possible, to qualified employees, in accordance with the following procedures: Overtime lists shall be maintained by the designated work location xxxxxxx, who shall be allowed a reasonable amount of time during working hours for this purpose. Lists shall include all employees at the work location, by trade, and shall be posted in an area where all affected employees will have access. There shall be separate overtime lists for forepersons, journeypersons, zone mechanics, trainees, and trades helpers. Employees with the least number of overtime hours charged shall have their names placed at the top of the list. In addition, DCSMEC shall appoint a xxxxxxx to maintain a combined district overtime list that represents a consolidation of all work location overtime lists. Employees who accrue an unauthorized absence(s) during a work week shall not be eligible for overtime work during any portion of that week. If scheduled overtime (i.e., weekend work) is necessary and the job is scheduled to be accomplished totally within overtime hours, then selection of employees to work overtime will be made from the satellite overtime list. If the overtime needs still remain, then selection shall be made from the district overtime list. If scheduled overtime is necessary, and the job is scheduled to include normal work hours, then selection of employees for overtime shall be made first from those employees who will be assigned to the job during normal work hours. If the preceding does not meet overtime needs, then selection will be made from the satellite overtime list. If the overtime needs still remain, then selection shall be made from the district overtime list. If scheduled overtime is necessary to complete jobs in progress, employees assigned to the job may be required to work overtime. If the preceding does not meet overtime needs, then selection will be made from the satellite overtime list. If the overtime needs still remain, then selection shall be made from the district overtime list. Employees required to work overtime that would occur either prior to or after normal work hours shall be notified, when possible, two days in advance of the day on which the overtime is anticipated to be worked. Employees required to work overtime that would occur on the weekend (scheduled overtime) shall be notified, when possible, not later than noon of the Wednesday preceding the weekend. All employees (except Permanent Forepersons) declining overtime shall be charged with the number of hours declined. Employees will not be charged on the overtime list for declining requests to work overtime that do not meet the preceding notification criteria. Employees who accept scheduled overtime and then fail to report to work will be charged on the list double the number of hours accepted.
