The normal work day shall consist of eight (8) or ten (10) hours of work exclusive of the meal period, in a twenty-four (24) hour period, unless otherwise specified. Employees may leave their worksite during their breaks or lunch. The City and the Union recognize that certain types of activities operating on a continuous seven (7) days a week requires different treatment as to hours worked and agree that in those instances an eight (8) or ten (10) hour shift, excluding the meal period may be allowed. B. Full-time employee shall be given a fifteen (15) minute break time in the first half of the shift and again in the last half of the shift. Break time is not cumulative and is not to be used to arrive late or to leave early unless otherwise agreed to by supervisor. Scheduling of break times shall be at the discretion of the Department Head. C. Timesheets, time clocks or other appropriate methods shall be utilized for the recording of employee work time. Employees shall review and sign their timesheets, timecards or other document or electronic method useddesignated by the City to verify the time an employee worked within a pay period prior to its submission to payroll. If such procedure is not feasible, the employee shall receive a copy of the timesheets submitted for review, signature and any corrections. D. An employee late for duty shall not be sent home but will be paid for only time worked unless employee is habitually late whereby appropriate disciplinary action will be taken. E. The following position classifications shall operate on a task work system: Solid Waste ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-Garbage/Recycle; Solid Waste Technician; Equipment Operator (2, 3, and 4); Refuse Collections Coordinator; Solid Waste ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Bulk Waste; and Refuse Collector. The parties agree that the foregoing job descriptions shall be updated to include tasks necessary to be completed before the task work is completed as approved by the supervisor. The aforementioned positions shall be held responsible for completion of the daily task work which shall consist of satisfactory completion of the Daily Post Route Task List attached as Appendix B and generally includes, but is not limited to, the following: assigned scheduled route, completing the emptying of the truck at the dump, cleaning the truck and readying it for service the following day, weekly and monthly tasks as assigned, and other related duties. Upon satisfactory completion of the assigned route and return to their designated job site and completion of all pre- and post- trip duties and related duties, employees shall be considered to have completed their work day and may be excused by the immediate supervisor. However, employees who have satisfactorily completed their tasks may be assigned as required by the department to assist on other routes in order to maintain essential service to the community. Task employees are prohibited from releasing themselves from duty. In order to ensure employees are not adversely affected by an early release, the remaining hours in the scheduled work day will be notated as “Task hours.” “Task hours” are hours that are not “actually worked,” therefore, these hours are not considered “hours worked” for the purposes of calculating overtime. Task hours also shall not result in paying an employee more than forty (40) hours in any work week if the employee has not actually worked more than forty (40) hours in that work week. Early release time that has been designated as Task hours during the work week are only paid when an employee, as a direct result of being released early from their scheduled work day, has not met the minimum threshold of forty (40) hours in the work week. Employees holding positions assigned to the task work system shall not be entitled to count sick leave that is not being used simultaneously with FMLA as hours worked for overtime purposes. Overtime is based on actual hours worked and not the scheduled task hours. However, vacation leave, holidays and jury duty will be considered hours worked for the purposes of computing overtime.
