Common use of Regular Runs and Extraboard Selection Clause in Contracts

Regular Runs and Extraboard Selection. The Company will conduct a minimum of three nationwide general bids for all regular runs and extraboard positions to be effective in January, June, and August/September. Operators who have worked during the current bid period and prior to the new bid closing are eligible to bid. Runs will be awarded on a seniority basis. If a qualified operator does not bid a run, the Company may assign such run to the most junior qualified operator. Operators bidding regular runs must qualify themselves to work the bid job. Qualified includes, but is not limited to, proper licenses, passports, bilingual skills and knowledge of the route bid. The term “Bilingual” refers to the ability to effectively communicate in both English and Spanish. This means the operator must be able to both understand and speak enough of both languages to ensure that they can inform customers of the basics needed for a successful trip, respond to basic questions the customer may pose during a trip, and must be proficient enough to ensure effective communication in case of an emergency. In recognition of the business need for all operators to be available during run bid changes, the following rules apply to the general bids: • Operators changing locations with the June general bid must assume their new assignment effective on the first day of the bid. Operators who have a legitimate reason for an extension on their arrival date must secure an authorized leave of absence from a Company supervisor at the new location. Operators who do not change locations must pull the first cycle of their new run unless it would cause a loss of earnings between the pay for the old and new assignment. • Operators changing locations with the January or August/September general bid must work through the final workday prior to the effective date of the January or August/September bid. Operators who do not change locations must work the last complete cycle of the January or August/September run bid unless it would cause a loss of earnings between the pay for the old and new assignment. • Operators who change cycles due to a run bid change are not entitled to lost wages or overtime. • Home Location – If an operator’s first day of the bid is an off day and he/she chooses to work, so long as the operator is at his/her home domicile, he/she will be entitled to time and one-half pay for work performed. • Away From Home Location – If an operator is away from home during the first day of the run bid change and it is their day off on the new run cycle and he/she is given an assignment, they will be entitled to time and one-half pay. If an operator is away from home during the first day of the run bid change and it is their day off on the new run cycle and is given a DHOC to return home, the operator will not be entitled to overtime. Eligible operators who fail to bid forfeit their rights to displace except to the extraboard at the operator’s home location. This will not apply to operators on a FMLA qualifying leave (includes sick leave and Workers’ Compensation) or military leave. Operators who are reinstated or are returning to work from an authorized leave, who have not forfeited their rights to displace, will be assigned in the following manner: • Operators returning from leave who have held a job in the current bid must return to their prior job. • Operators returning who have not held a job in the current bid or been awarded a job in the upcoming bid may displace any junior operator at any location. • Operators who are reinstated may displace any junior operator at any location. Extraboard positions are bid by seniority. The Company will determine the number of extraboard positions at each location. Operators who do not receive their bid choice on a general bid may be assigned to a vacancy within 100 miles of their present location. If no vacancies exist, they will be furloughed immediately. Operators furloughed or who are assigned to a location (which they did not bid) will be allowed to return to their previous home location (last bid location) when positions become available, in seniority order. Should extraboard positions be posted between general bids, all active extraboard operators will be eligible to bid on such positions. Assignments will be by seniority from among those who bid except drivers involuntarily assigned to another location or inactive operators will be awarded positions at the location they last worked ahead of active unassigned operators from another location. Operators will be responsible to be aware of such postings and the Company is not obligated to notify operators of any such postings. Operators must be available on the effective date of the bid. Successful bidders for the posting of extraboard positions under this provision waive the ten-day recall language.
