Common use of Extra Board Operators Clause in Contracts

Extra Board Operators. 13.4.1 The Extra Board will be maintained at a level consistent with the needs of the department. The Extra Board will be established and maintained under the control of the Transit Director or his/her designee. 13.4.2 Extra Board Operators will be guaranteed a minimum of forty (40) hours of work per week with one (1) scheduled day off per week. Operators will also have a minimum of eight (8) hours of release from duty before commencing a new workday. Extra Board Operators assigned to work a regular bid run will receive the same guaranteed time as the driver regularly assigned to that run. 13.4.3 Extra Board Operators may bid in seniority order on regular runs available for four or more work days in a seven day period. Regular runs may become available as a result of new positions or temporary vacancies in regular assignments. Regular runs may also be available due to vacation, deaths, retirement, or termination of a regular operator. Extra Board Operators that bid on regular runs must retain that run until the regular operator returns or the next regular bid; whichever occurs first. Extra Board Operators may not bump other Extra Board Operators already on regular runs. Extra Board Operators who bid regular runs are still considered on the Extra Board. 13.4.4 Transit will create the bid schedule with available days off. Extra Board Operators will bid for the available day off by seniority. However, should an Extra Board Operator bid for an available regular run, that operator will be required to accept the days off assigned and will be paid 8/10 hours that are guaranteed for that regular run. 13.4.5 It is recognized that management may make necessary adjustments to accommodate the forty-hour (40) workweek guarantee and/or reduce unnecessary overtime. 13.4.6 The bidding process (Subsection 15.1) will be reviewed by management on a regular basis. Should problems arise, adjustments may be made with prior input from Union representatives.
