Common use of Straight Time Pay Clause in Contracts

Straight Time Pay. Under the 8-hour work shift schedule an employee received 40 hours of pay, for the first 40 hours worked in a work week (assuming no overtime is worked). For those employees that rotate shifts, the 12-hour shift work schedule rearranges the first forty hours worked such that some weeks an employee works less than 40 hours and some weeks works more than 40 hours. However, at the end of 5 weeks on the 12-hour schedule, an employee will have worked 200 hours or 40 hours per week (assuming no overtime was worked). Under the 12-hour shift work schedules employees will earn and use comp time (i.e. overtime hours) to provide 40 straight time hours of pay each week.

Therefore, an employee accumulates 12 hours of comp time and is paid 40 hours of pay for 48 hours of work in weeks 3 and 5. In those weeks where an employee works only 36 hours, 4 comp time hours are used to provide 40 paid hours that week. Similarly, during the 32 hours work week, 8 comp time hours are used to provide 40 paid hours that week. An employee must have 40 paid hours per week to accumulate maximum retirement and sick leave benefits. At the end of a five week cycle an employee earns a total of 208 paid and/or comp time pay or overtime hours for 200 hours of work on the new 12 hour shift schedules. This is equivalent to a 4% pay increase for each employee or 83.2 additional pay hours per year. To keep labor costs and employee earnings cost neutral under the new shift schedules, this pay increase (8 hours comp time very 5 weeks) is offset by changes in shift differential policies and holiday premium pay (see section #10). At the discretion of the employee, accumulated overtime hours (comp time) may be received as cash as long as the employee maintains 16 comp time hours in his/her account at any one time. Employees who fail to maintain the minimum number of overtime hours necessary for use during any 32 or 36 hour scheduled work week will not receive a full 40 hours of pay for any such week.
