BUS DRIVER OVERTIME SHARING Clause Samples
BUS DRIVER OVERTIME SHARING. This procedure will operate in conjunction with Appendix A of the Collective Agreement (Bus Driver Assigning and Detailing Procedure).
(a) All drivers who wish to be placed on the master volunteer list for “off-day work” for a complete board period must submit a completed Bus Driver Volunteer Form to the Steeprock Planning section not later than noon on the Tuesday prior to the start of that board period.
