Common use of Mandatory Overtime Clause in Contracts

Mandatory Overtime. Should there be insufficient volunteers, the Employer may require qualified employees on duty in the affected unit or classification to perform overtime work on a reverse seniority basis. The Employer shall not, however, require an employee to work overtime consisting of three (3) or more consecutive hours on more than one occasion in a 72-hour period except for emergent operational needs. The foregoing provision shall apply regardless of whether the employee’s previous overtime within the 72-hour period was voluntary or mandatory. Whenever possible, the next least senior person working on duty in the affected unit or classification will be required to work in lieu of an employee who has already worked overtime of at least three (3) consecutive hours within 72 hours. For purposes of this paragraph, the 72-hour period shall be deemed to commence as of the beginning of the overtime worked. An employee who agrees to come into work on the employee’s scheduled day off will not be required to work mandatory overtime on that day.
