Work Past Relief Time. 154. In the event an Operator will not be relieved at his or her scheduled time of relief, either because the Operator’s relief failed to report or because of an unanticipated service disruption, Dispatch shall inform the Operator scheduled to be relieved. If a relief Operator is not immediately available to make the relief, SFMTA may direct the Operator to complete the trip as long as the Operator will not exceed the maximum driving hours.
Work Past Relief Time. 181. In the event an employee is not relieved at his or her scheduled time of relief, either because the operator's relief failed to report or because of unanticipated service disruption, the employee who is to be relieved must call Central Control and proceed in-service. If an employee is not immediately available to make a relief, Central Control, Inspector, or other person in authority may order the employee to continue in-service for a maximum of one and one-half hours. If a relief is not assigned in that time period, the employee may "lay up" the car at the Embarcadero Station after calling Central Control by radio or telephone. Turning in a car ahead of schedule, whether or not relief is involved, is prohibited without authorization.
