In the event an employee notifies management that he believes working in excess of sixteen (16) hours in a twenty four (24) hour period will present an imminent threat to the health or safety of the employee or another, the employee must seek permission to be relieved of duty without discipline; such permission will not be unreasonably denied.

An emergency is described as snow and ice removal and control, water main breaks, and any other situation that adversely impacts the health, safety and welfare of the general public. An employee may be permitted to work beyond a sixteen (16) hour period as previously described with superintendent permission if in the superintendent’s reasonable opinion the employee is mentally alert and shows no visible signs of exhaustion or fatigue.

Any time taken for a rest period in excess of four and one-half (4.5) hours shall, at the employee’s discretion, be deducted from the employee’s accumulated vacation, holiday, or compensatory time or taken without pay or taken without pay.
