Spare Driver Scheduling Sample Clauses

Spare Driver Scheduling. When needed, the Supervisor of Operations or designate will call spare drivers in to work by rotation, within their service area, starting each year with the most senior spare driver. Employees will be advised of the expected length of the assignment at the time of call in. An employee will be “called in” on the basis of a phone call to that employee. If there is no answer on any of the employee’s available phone numbers, or if the employee is not available the next senior spare driver in the service area will be called until a driver is obtained. If no spare driver is confirmed in the service area, the Supervisor of Operations or designate will then contact spare drivers, in seniority order, in other service areas who have previously indicated, in writing, that they are willing to take trips in another service area. . The employer agrees to make every reasonable effort to reach the employees and to document the calls. When the Employer has been advised that a regular bus driver will be absent for a period of greater than two (2) consecutive weeks, the temporary position will be posted for all spare drivers to apply, and will be offered to the senior applicant, who has the ability to perform the normal requirements of the position.
