Snow & Ice Overtime. This procedure is intended to be used in the event of overtime for snow and ice removal. The provisions of the contract relating to shift differential do not apply to such overtime. In order to maintain a high level of safety and efficiency, breaks will be taken by employees working extended shifts as per their regular shifts. Assignments for snow and ice removal shall be made by seniority within each division in the following order: (a) equipment operators and maintenance workers in the street division; (b) equipment operators and maintenance workers in the related divisions (grounds, parks and storm water) (signed up) (c) equipment operators in all other divisions (signed up); (d) maintenance workers in all other divisions (signed up); (e) equipment operators in all divisions (not signed up); (f) maintenance workers in all divisions (not signed up); (g) all other bargaining unit employees with a CDL (not signed up); (h) all bargaining unit employees without a CDL; (i) city employees outside the bargaining unit and contractors. The City will make sign-up sheets available for each division except streets. The employees in the street division are automatically signed up. Employees who wish to be considered for overtime for snow and ice removal shall sign up on or before October 1 of each year. These employees will be called out first for snow or ice removal in the order listed herein. Employees who do not sign up for call-out will not be contacted until all bargaining unit members who did sign up have been contacted, and there is still a need for additional employees, in the sole discretion of the City. Employees who agree to report for call-out shall report to work within one (1) hour of being contacted and understand that by agreeing to report, they agree to work up to a minimum of three (3) hours at the City’s discretion. Upon reporting to work, the employee shall not leave without providing a supervisor with at least two (2) hours notice prior to leaving, or receiving permission from a supervisor to leave. If an employee who has been called out agrees at the end of the initial call-out period to return to work at a later time, the employee shall report for such additional work, unless they report off as they would from regularly scheduled work hours. Supervisors retain the right to send employees home, if in the supervisor’s discretion, the employee appears too tired to continue working safely. An employee who is sent home must be off at least 8 hours.
