(c) To the extent reasonably possible, the Employer shall endeavour to schedule or assign work on Saturday to employees who normally perform the work in question and who volunteer to work on Saturday. If there are insufficient such volunteers, subparagraph (b), above shall apply.

In the event that the said work on Saturday is not assigned to another employee(s), and is instead assigned to an employee(s) who has already achieved the said 24 Saturday annual threshold, the said employee(s) shall be paid at the rate of 1.5 the applicable rate, for any further work on Saturday assigned by the Employer, for the balance of the calendar year in question.
