Principles: Determination of available work as ‘overtime’ will be at the discretion of the Manager/Supervisor. Where a Supervisor/Manager has determined that work should be offered to existing employees as overtime, “an equitable manner” shall be interpreted to be a reasonable method in which Supervisors/Managers have made every effort to ensure that the most employees benefit, in descending order of seniority, while respecting the particular needs and parameters of the department to meet short- term, unexpected staffing needs and to maintain efficient functioning. In cases where staff eligible for work have not previously performed the particular work available, the Supervisor/Manager of the area will consult with employees regarding the desire for overtime, review their qualifications, and determine their ability to perform the work. If an employee is unavailable for top-up or overtime work when offered, they do not lose their place in the call-out order. Supervisors/Manager will not be expected to split work available on any given day into shifts of less than 7 hours except where the needs of the department are best met by doing so. No shifts of less than 4 hours will be assigned as a result of this agreement.
