Overtime General. § 1. Overtime shall be considered as all authorized hours worked in excess of forty hours in a week (Saturday 12:00 AM – Friday 11:59 PM) or in excess of eight hours in a work day, except for employees who are regularly scheduled to work ten hours in a work day, in which event overtime shall be considered as all authorized hours worked in excess of ten hours in a work day, provided that an employee who works more than eight hours in a work day, or ten hours in a work day if on a ten-hour schedule, and during the same work week takes unpaid time off shall receive overtime compensation only for hours worked in excess of forty hours during the work week. A. An employee who works more than forty (40) hours in a work week or in excess of eight (8) hours in a scheduled work day or ten (10) hours in a work day if on a ten hour schedule, shall be paid time and one-half for all such hours, or granted paid time off equivalent to the hours worked at the employee’s request; such paid time off shall be taken during the work week in which the overtime was worked. If the employee does not take the paid time during the same work week in which it was worked, the employee shall be paid for such overtime at the rate of time and one- half. B. Time paid for sick leave, funeral leave, holidays, personal business time or vacation leave shall be construed as time worked in the computation of overtime. § 2. Employees will be paid two times their regular hourly rate for all overtime hours worked on holidays. For purposes of this section, the holiday shall be the actual holiday, not the designated day when a holiday falls on a weekend. § 3. When an employee is called in to work at other than his scheduled working time, he shall be paid a minimum of three (3) hours at the appropriate premium rate. This minimum shall not be applicable if the overtime is contiguous with the regular working hours. § 4. Overtime of less than fifteen (15) minutes in any one day is not included in determining the total hours worked. § 5. Employees scheduled to work holidays as part of their regular work schedule shall receive one and one-half (1-1/2) times their regular hourly rate for all hours worked on those holidays. For purposes of this section, the holiday shall be the actual holiday, not the designated day when a holiday falls on a weekend. A. Overtime shall be assigned at the discretion of the Employer provided that the Employer shall notify an employee as early as practicable. The Employer will attempt to equalize overtime within classifications and department where qualifications permit. When the Employer is unable to get the required number of employees to volunteer for overtime, the lowest seniority employees in the Division will be required to work overtime. Mandatory overtime for an entire Division may, at the option of the Employer, be invoked by notifying the employees and the union ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ of that Division, or a union officer in the absence of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, prior to the end of the shift just prior to the mandatory overtime. B. No employee shall be ordered, or be eligible to sign up for, overtime with less than an eight (8) hour break between shifts (or up to fifteen (15) consecutive hours of work). An employee’s work schedule shall not be changed to avoid this requirement. Exceptions may be made only if there are no eligible employees available to work (i.e., due to employees already working extended shifts, on pre-approved leave, emergencies).
