Common use of Starting Times Clause in Contracts

Starting Times. The parties recognize and agree that it would be extremely difficult to fix the actual expense and damage to the Union and the employees which would result from an Individual Employer’s requirement that employees commence work earlier than the starting time set forth in this Agreement. Therefore, it is agreed that the amount of damage to the Union and the employees resulting from such a requirement shall be by way of liquidated damages, and not an assessment or penalty, the sum of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) for each employee for each day on which he or she is required to begin work earlier than the starting times set forth in this Agreement, except where jobs warrant an earlier starting time. All early starting times must be approved by the Union. All liquidated damages are subject to approval by the Board of Adjustment, which shall have the authority to impose liquidated damages in any amount not to exceed $1,000.00 per day. In addition, the Individual Employer shall pay all attorneys fees and costs expended by the Union in collecting these liquidated damages.
