Common use of Summer Bus Cleaning Clause in Contracts

Summer Bus Cleaning. Bus drivers are required to clean their buses in the summer and shall be compensated for up to six (6) hours at their regular bus driver route rate. Cleaning must be completed within two (2) weeks of the last day of school. Drivers who do not wish to clean their buses shall notify the Transportation Supervisor who will make arrangements for their buses to be cleaned by other bus drivers. No employee shall receive so many extra hours of bus cleaning assignments as to qualify for overtime compensation. Salary for any employee cleaning a bus under this arrangement will be paid at the rate of the driver whose bus is cleaned. If bus inspections by the Ohio Department of Transportation are scheduled during the school year, drivers are required to clean their buses following the same procedure that is in place for summer bus cleaning. Drivers shall be compensated for cleaning their bus for school year ODOT inspections at the same rate as they would be for summer bus cleaning. A manual of cleaning expectations/duties will be developed by the Transportation Supervisor and given to all drivers prior to September 1 of each school year.
