Common use of Sign-up Relief Clause in Contracts

Sign-up Relief. Sign-up reliefs will be scheduled to provide the Operator signing up with twenty (20) minutes, at the Depot prior to their designated sign-up time, unless during the signup there are eight or more sheets to sign. If there are eight or more sheets to sign, Operators signing up will be provided thirty (30) minutes prior to their designated sign-up time. The Employer will pay for one relief and the Operator being relieved will not lose pay. The relief, in turn, will be ineligible to be relieved for the purpose of signing up only if that Operator has signed the relief as overtime. In the case of Spareboard Operators signing such a relief to make up their day and then asking the Depot Office to relieve them so that they can then sign up, this will be allowed on the understanding that if other Spareboard Operators sign that relief also to make up their day, those Operators will not be allowed a relief so that they can then sign up. Operators who sign up and hold sign-up for reliefs on special sheets designated and so marked for sign-up reliefs, will be paid as though the relief occurred at the point of sign-up back to the point of sign-up. (To be included within the two hour minimum.) The Employer will designate the relief point. All sign-up reliefs must be on the sign-up relief sheet.
