Temporary Transfer Assignment Method. A voluntary temporary transfer list will be established at each extraboard point for the purpose of assigning temporary transfers. Extraboard operators may sign this list at any time after becoming a member of the extraboard at such location by notifying their supervisor. Operators’ elections to be on the voluntary list will be maintained in the Company’s system. A new list will be printed and posted from time to time or when requested. Assignments from the voluntary list will be made by xxxxxx the voluntary list in seniority order. Assignments will be made between the 12th and 16th hour prior to departure. In the event no operators sign the list, or if the list is depleted, transfers will be assigned to the junior operator currently on the board at the time of the assignment. Operators in their probationary period will not be assigned to a temporary transfer unless there are no other extraboard operators available for such assignment(s). In order to receive meal allowance, operators on temporary transfer must be available for work during the transfer period. For each unavailable occurrence meal allowance will be reduced by the daily rate. There will be no more than one reduction for a 24-hour period. However, operators on temporary transfers exceeding seven days will be allowed 24 hours after the seventh day and in each subsequent seven day period with no penalty. Temporary transfer operators moving from one extraboard to another are responsible for learning the new routes at the new extraboard location. The Company may require the temporary transfer operators to pad on schedules to learn the route. Temporary transfer operators will be paid $12.00 per day while learning routes.
Temporary Transfer Assignment Method. When a probationary operator arrives at a foreign location, potential assignments will be evaluated within the geographic boundaries established. Should it appear that no such assignments are forthcoming, the operator may be cushioned home ahead of other operators in bed, without the Company incurring a runaround penalty. When a probationary operator is first up for work taking him/her outside the boundaries described, the operator may be passed over without a runaround penalty. When a probationary operator is the only available operator – the board is depleted – an assignment may be made that deviates from these rules but the operator will be tracked and returned to his/her home location as soon as practical.
Temporary Transfer Assignment Method. A volun- tary temporary transfer list will be established at each extraboard point for the purpose of assigning temporary transfers. Extraboard operators may sign this list at any time after becoming a member of the extraboard at such location by notifying their supervisor. Oper- ators’ elections to be on the voluntary list will be maintained in the Company’s system. A new list will be printed and posted from time to time or when requested. Assignments from the voluntary list will be made by xxxxxx the voluntary list in seniority order. Assignments will be made during the seventh day prior to departure. In the event no operators sign the list, or if the list is depleted, transfers will be assigned to the junior operator currently on the board at the time of the assignment. A junior operator will not be forced to two tempo- rary transfers back-to-back, rather the next junior operator will be assigned. This does not prevent any operator from volunteering for back-to-back temporary transfers. Operators in their probationary pe- riod will not be assigned to a temporary transfer unless there are no other extraboard operators available for such assignment(s). In order to receive meal allowance, operators on temporary transfer must be available for work during the transfer period. For each unavailable occurrence, meal allowance will be reduced by the daily rate. There will be no more than one reduction for a 24-hour period. However, operators on temporary transfers exceeding seven days will be allowed 24 hours after the seventh day and in each sub- sequent seven-day period with no penalty. Temporary transfer operators moving from one extraboard to another are responsible for learning the new routes at the new ex- traboard location. The Company may require the temporary transfer operators to pad on schedules to learn the route. Temporary transfer operators will be paid $12.00 per day while learning routes. Plane travel is often used to position drivers. If plane travel is required, drivers may elect to decline the temporary transfer assign- ment without being removed from the temporary transfer list. This does not apply to junior operators assigned as a result of the transfer list being depleted.
