ARTICLE 11: DISTRIBUTION OF OVERTIME Section 1: The City shall be the sole judge of the necessity of overtime. All overtime shall be voluntary and an employee shall have the right to refuse an overtime assignment except for emergencies. An "emergency" is defined as any impairment to City services or operations which cannot be delayed until the beginning of the next regular work day. In non- emergency situations, the City may require the least senior qualified employees in the classification who are available, to perform the overtime work. (a) Employees in the Service Department who are assigned to leaf collection will work according to a weekly pick-up schedule which schedule will include pick-up and unloading of leaves, during the period from November 1st to December 16th. In the event a crew is not able to complete a daily route, employees assigned to said route may be required to work up to two (2) hours overtime. The City, however, agrees that for purposes of overtime work, the same shall be voluntary. Employees assigned to leaf collection will have the opportunity to volunteer on a weekly basis. If the volunteer list consists of at least seventy- five percent (75~) of those bargaining unit employees needed to maintain five (5) leaf pick-up crews, then in that event the same shall remain voluntary. If, However, the seventy-five percent (75~) requirement is not realized, then the City shall be free to revert to the provisions in Section 2 of this Article. Section 2: The City shall endeavor, insofar as it may be practicable, to make a generally equitable distribution of overtime work among employees within a classification and department who are capable of performing the available work satisfactorily. Employees who are offered overtime and for any reason refuse or fail to work, shall be credited with the overtime as if they had worked, for the purpose of overtime 17
