Equalization of Overtime. Overtime shall be equalized as much as possible within each division. The parties agree that when bargaining unit employees work overtime in divisions other than his/her regular division, then those hours of overtime worked are to be figured into the employee’s overtime hours in his/her regular division for the purpose of equalizing the overtime within the division.
(a) Employees shall be required to provide one (1) telephone number in order to be contacted for call-out assignments. Employees at their option may provide a second telephone number at which to be contacted. However, failure to provide a second number shall not be considered a loss and/or denial of an overtime opportunity.
(b) Failure to respond and a refusal to any call-out/overtime opportunity shall be charged against the employee as if worked.
(c) Employees who respond to the call/out overtime and actually work shall be charged for hours worked.
(d) Employees who are off work due to vacation, compensatory time, sick leave for someone other than themselves or light duty (providing the call-out assignment is consistent with the applicable light duty restrictions), shall at their choice be available for call-out situations. If the employee chooses to work the call-out, he/she will be charged the overtime worked. Also, an employee who is off due to military service is considered not available for overtime and shall not be charged overtime hours. Employees transferring to a different division shall receive for purposes of overtime equalization the average amount of overtime worked that the existing personnel within the division and classification possess at the time of transfer in order to equalize overtime under Article 11. For the purposes of this Agreement, any refusal of overtime in other divisions will be charged to the employee in his/her regular division as if he/she had actually worked those hours, in accordance with Article 12(E) (Temporary Reassignments).
Equalization of Overtime. (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section, overtime worked shall be divided as equally as possible among the employees who normally perform the work in the Department where the work is to be accomplished and within their job classification. The goal of distributing overtime as equally as possible refers to overtime distribution within a crew on an annual basis. Crew Leaders and Plant Operations Shift Coordinators shall keep daily logs and once per week update the weekly overtime sheet. Based on this update, a new weekly overtime list will be prepared and distributed on Fridays. The employer is not required to break works in progress for the purpose of equalizing distribution of overtime. For Monday through Friday crews, overtime occurring as an extension of the shift may be assigned based on agreement of the crew. Provided, however, on the Utility Worker-Fuel Handler Crew, the Commission shall not be required to break works in progress if the Crew Leader determines that the overtime is not likely to last more than three (3) hours. An employee transferring between departments will be considered to have overtime equal to the highest employee doing the same work on the date the transfer was effective. When an employee has been so excused, notation shall be made on the overtime records that the employee has been offered and has refused the number of hours which would have been worked, and those hours shall be considered as "hours worked" in the future distribution of overtime.
(b) In selecting employees for scheduling or planned overtime the Commission will excuse employees who do not want the assignment, provided the required number of qualified employees are available. The option of the employees to turn down assignment to scheduled or planned overtime, provided there is enough qualified employees available, is not intended to apply to emergency overtime.
(c) When additional help is needed beyond the number desiring the assignment, the additional assignments will be made in inverse order of the amount of overtime worked. Employees in this instance, must make themselves promptly available for work.
(d) The following definitions shall apply for the purpose of assignment of overtime is concerned:
1) Scheduled or planned overtime shall mean work for which at least 24 hours notice has been given.
2) Emergency overtime shall mean work for which, if not accomplished, will interfere with the Commission's obligation to provide continuous operations for the health...
Equalization of Overtime. To the extent possible, consistent with current practice, voluntary overtime opportunities shall be distributed equally among qualified volunteers with similar skills and duties. The employer will attempt to meet overtime needs by first soliciting volunteers prior to making assignments. It is understood that soliciting volunteers may not be appropriate in emergency situations (including short-notice absences). Section Six. (a) Effective 7/1/95, employees who are assigned to a fixed duty station and have previously been receiving portal to portal pay, shall have the benefit of counting their travel time to and from the fixed duty station limited to one-half (1/2) hour each way.
Equalization of Overtime. The city recognizes the principle of equalization of overtime. Such equalization shall be accomplished on the following basis:
a. An overtime file will be maintained on the basis of accumulative hours of overtime worked per employee. Accumulative overtime hours shall be based on overtime offered and/or worked. The file will be updated on a daily basis.
b. An employee shall not be required to work overtime throughout any scheduled vacation or code day period, except callback. Trades or compensatory time shall not be used by an employee to avoid being charged for overtime, except for an emergency leave. Employees agreeing to work overtime shall be bound by the regular attendance procedure.
c. All overtime known one (1) hour in advance will be considered scheduled overtime.
d. Overtime shall be equalized within each separate division. Division commanders or persons acting as Division Commanders shall be responsible for the accuracy and fairness of the overtime card file system. They shall notify the prospective employees eligible for overtime twelve (12) hours prior to the unscheduled overtime period offered if possible. The procedure for holdover will be to offer the longest time available to the first employee on the list, the next longest time to the second employee on the list etc. What determines who is first on the list is the person with the least hours in the card file. The holdover list ends at 0700. Personnel refusing the time offered shall have that amount of time added to their card in the card file. Should all personnel on the list be asked to holdover and refuse, the least senior person shall work the highest number of hours available, the next least senior person shall work the next highest number of hours, etc. until all hours are filled.
e. New employees that hire into the Department shall be charged with the maximum number of hours of overtime.
f. The City and the Union agree that to better insure adequate staffing on Christmas day those employees who work overtime on December 25 will not be charged for those hours worked in the overtime card file.
g. A voluntary overtime list will be established and will be posted in the B.C. office. Anyone willing to work overtime on Christmas day will submit his or her name to the Battalion Chief. On the morning of December 25 if the Battalion Chief is unable to fill unscheduled vacancies from the holdover list, the personnel on the voluntary list will be called to fill those vacancies.

If the low overtime employee cannot be reached by telephone or otherwise refuses, he shall be passed over and the next lowest employee in overtime hours shall be contacted. This procedure shall be followed until overtime assignments have been made. In the event two or more employ- ees have the same number of overtime hours, the senior em- ployee will be called first.
3. The supervisor may hold over the low overtime employees without calling members of the affected platoon when there is less than two hours' notice.
4. An employee may file a written request with his command officer that he be eliminated from the overtime list and not considered for overtime.

8. In no event will double time be p...
Equalization of Overtime. Overtime will be equalized as far as practical among employees in a work area, classification and job family, The Company shall make reasonable effort to equalize overtime within designated groups insofar as practical.
