Common use of WORK DAY AND OVERTIME Clause in Contracts

WORK DAY AND OVERTIME. It is the purpose of this Section to define the normal hours of work for the purpose of calculating overtime payments. Nothing in this Section is a guarantee of hours of work or pay. The normal workweek for overtime purposes shall consist of forty (40) hours of work, exclusive of lunch periods, within the workweek. For purposes of overtime calculation, the workweek begins at 12:01 a.m. on Monday and ends at midnight the following Sunday. Overtime at the rate of one and one-half (1-1/2) times the employee's regular hourly rate will be paid for any hours worked in excess of forty (40) hours in a work week. Overtime must be authorized in advance by the appropriate supervisor. If authorized by the appropriate supervisor and mutually agreed upon, the employee will be allowed to take either compensatory time off or be paid time and one-half. An employee may not accrue more than 40 hours of compensatory time in a four-month period of time (three district periods of January 1 - April 30, May 1 - August 31, and September 1 - December 31). Any remaining accumulated compensatory time at the end of the four-month period shall be paid off in full at the employee's regular hourly rate in effect at the end of the prior period, in the second pay of the following month. Compensatory time off shall be scheduled with approval of the appropriate supervisor or administrator. Each employee who is required to work on a holiday or on a Sunday shall be paid one and one-half (1-1/2) times the regular rate of pay for all work performed. If an employee is called back to work by an appropriate supervisor after his/her regularly scheduled shift or any scheduled overtime, the employee will be paid for a minimum of two hours’ work. This section does not apply to field trips or other voluntary requests for hours. If an employee is called back to work by an appropriate supervisor on a Sunday or Holiday he/she will be paid for a minimum of two (2) hours work at one and one- half (1-1/2) times the regular pay. Payment of overtime and/or premium rates shall not be duplicated or pyramided for the same hours worked, and under no circumstances shall more than one basis of calculating overtime and/or premium pay be used for the same hours. For purposes of computing overtime pay, personal leave and compensatory time taken shall not be treated as hours worked unless an administrator required the employee to work the overtime hours. In each four (4) month period, commencing with the effective date of this contract, overtime work shall be divided as equally as possible among the employees who, in the judgment of their supervisor, are capable of performing the work in the job classification, building, if any, and shift in which the overtime is to be worked. When an insufficient number of employees volunteer in a classification, building, if any, and shift for overtime assignment, the supervisor shall assign the overtime to the least senior qualified employees in the classification, building, if any, and shift. Where the least senior employee must refuse the work for reasons beyond his/her control a substitute may be used. Records shall be maintained of hours of overtime worked and refused by employees for the purpose of the administration of this Section. Where overtime is refused, the employee so refusing, regardless of seniority, shall go to the bottom of the list and will be treated for purposes of this Section as having had an overtime opportunity. Those custodians who wish the opportunity to put in overtime will sign a list at the beginning of each school year. Where custodial overtime becomes known to the administration at least 48 hours in advance, the custodial supervisor will contact each custodian in a systematic order to offer the overtime. For purposes of this section, overtime shall first be offered to those custodians who work in the building where the overtime will be assigned. If a night shift custodian works on Saturday instead of Friday night, he/she will still receive the premium pay normally received for the night shift. Any hours worked outside 6:00 am to 2:30 pm will receive night bonus pay. This does not apply to voluntary or employee-initiated changes in work hours.
