Common use of Guaranteed Overtime Clause in Contracts

Guaranteed Overtime. Shift employees shall be paid overtime at the rate of 1 1/2 times their regular base hourly rate for a guaranteed twelve (12) hours worked during a 27-day work period. As used in this Agreement is premium pay based upon the specific type of hours worked, such as emergency call-in or standby hours worked. Hours which are specified as “guaranteed” are paid at the overtime rate of 1 1/2 times the regular base hourly rate. Since the specified hours are already guaranteed overtime pay, they are not counted again as hours actually worked for purposes of calculating additional overtime for the week or pay cycle. If counted again as hours actually worked toward overtime, the result would be a duplication or pyramiding of overtime, which is not permitted by the terms of this Agreement.
