The normal hours of work shall be seven and one-half (7½) hours per day, and seventy-five (75) hours in any bi-weekly period. 15.02 The normal daily shift shall consist of seven and one-half (7½) consecutive hours, exclusive of a one-half (½) hour unpaid meal period. Employees shall be entitled to a fifteen (15) minute paid break during each half of the normal daily shift, at a time designated by the Employer. 15.03 Employees required for reporting purposes shall remain at work for a period of up to fifteen (15) minutes which shall be unpaid. Should the reporting time extend beyond fifteen (15) minutes however, the entire period shall be considered overtime for the purposes of payment. 15.04 Requests for change in posted work schedules must be submitted in writing and co-signed by the employee willing to exchange days off or shifts and are subject to the discretion of the Administrator or her designate. In any event, it is understood that such a change initiated by the employee and approved by the Employer shall not result in overtime compensation or payment or any other claims on the Employer by any employee under the terms of this Agreement. 15.05 Where there is a change to Daylight Savings from Standard Time or vice-versa, an employee who is scheduled and works a full shift shall be paid for a seven and one-half (7½) hour shift rather than the actual hours worked. 15.06 In the event that a meal period is interrupted requiring an employee to attend to a work related problem, then the balance of the unused meal period will be taken within two (2) hours of the interruption. If the employee is unable to reschedule such time, she shall be paid time and one-half (1½) her regular straight time hourly rate for all time worked in excess of her normal daily hours, in accordance with Article 16.01.
HOURS OF WORK AND OVERTIME 15:01 The hours of work shall be eight (8) hours per day, forty (40) hours per week, in accordance with the regular shift schedule, provided that this shall not constitute a guarantee of hours of work per day or of days of work per week. Where alternative shifts are implemented the hours of work shall be eighty (80) hours per pay period, in accordance with the regular shift schedule, provided that this shall not constitute a guarantee of hours of work per day or of days of work per week. 15:02 Authorized overtime work performed in excess of the standard work week or the standard work day will be paid at the rate of time and one-half (1½) times the regular hourly rate. In the case of employees working alternative shifts, authorized overtime is work performed in excess of their standard work day or eighty (80) hours per pay period and will be paid at time and one-half (1 ½) times the regular rate of pay. 15:03 Overtime work shall be distributed as equitably as practicable amongst employees performing work in the same classification at the same location. For overtime distribution same location means UTM and UTSC autonomously. At the St. Xxxxxx campus, same location means: Southwest area, Southeast area, North area, Central area and Steam Plant autonomously.

Employees who are unavailable to work any overtime because they are on supervisor approved vacation, supervisor approved bereavement, supervisor approved Health & Safety business, supervisor approved University business, or Union release for Union business shall not be considered to have worked for the purpose of establishing records on overtime distribution. An overtime list will be updated and posted weekly in each area. 15:04 All engineers who work on a regularly scheduled short shift change with less than two (2) shifts of rest in a twenty-four (24) hour period between a change in shift shall be paid at regular overtime rates for all hours worked from the commencement of the second shift.
