Substitute Driving a) Any substitute driving shall be offered to all regular Drivers first, beginning with the most senior Driver using the following preferences:
Substitute Driving. When a driver substitutes on another route or drives a route or portion thereof because of the breakdown of another bus, the driver shall be paid at 100% of the driver’s regular hourly rate. Employees in the bargaining unit shall be given preference in substituting for absent bus drivers when they are available and have indicated their desire for such work, by signing the roster. The Transportation Supervisor may utilize non-bargaining unit substitutes when bargaining unit drivers are unavailable or when the immediacy of the situation dictates. A driver bypassed in error according to assignment procedures, shall be given the next substituting assignment for which the driver is available. The Employer shall not be required to continue the substitute assignment of any employee beyond a total of 40 hours of work, inclusive of all non-trip hours, in any work week. The interruption of any substitute assignment due to the 40 hour work week limitation shall not constitute a break in continuity of the substitute assignment. A regular driver shall have the first opportunity to substitute on another regular driver’s package. However, the Employer shall not be obligated to split any segment of a package between more than two (2) people. This shall not apply to the noon/mid-day segment of a package.
Substitute Driving. When a driver substitutes on another route or drives a route or portion thereof because of the breakdown of another bus, the driver shall be paid at the rate listed in the schedule below.
