ARTICLE 11 DISTRIBUTION OF OVERTIME i 1.01 The Employer shall be the sole judge of the necessity of overtime. All overtime shall be voluntary and an employee shall have the right to refuse any overtime assignment except for emergencies. An "emergency" is defined as any impairments to City services or operations which camlot be delayed until the begimling of the next regular work day. In non-emergency situations, the City may require the least senior qualified employee in the classification who are available, to perform the overtirrie work. The distribution of overtime shall be referred to the Labor/Management Committee for discussion and resolution. 11.02 The Employer shall endeavor, insofar as it may be practicable, to make 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 distribution. An employee who works overtime will be credited only with the number of hours he actually worked. An employee who should have been called up for overtime, but was missed, shall have deducted from his equalization the total number of hours that were worked on that overtime call. In the event that a sufficient number of qualified employees are not available within the classification for the overtime assignment, qualified employees from a different classification and/or department shall be offered the overtime work and the overtime opportunity shall be distributed as equitably as possible. The Employer shall maintain lists by classification showing the overtime hours of each employee. All overtime hours shall be recorded on a daily basis. The overtime lists shall be posted at each work location (Service Garage, Plant and Systems) and shall be kept current on a daily basis. The Service Mechanics and helpers will be subject to rotating overtime. These overtime lists shall be reduced to zero and start again on July 1 sc of each year. Students, seasonal and part-time employees will not work overtime until all regular employees have been offered overtime. 11.03 During snow season, employees will be canvassed daily to determine their availability during the ensuing non-shift/overtime hours for snow removal or ice control duty. However, employees who refuse voluntary overtime but ultimately would not have been called off the list will not be re-credited with overtime hours worked. The overtime seniority list will be followed and those employees not interested in being called will not be contacted on a subsequent call out unless emergency conditions develop. 11.04 For the purpose of this section, there shall be an exception to the distribution of overtime in accordance with the overtime procedure above. 1) The Employer may schedule an employee to work more than his regular scheduled day not to exceed ten (10) hours in a week. 2) Once an employee has worked ten (10) hours the Employer shall offer Overtime in strict accordance with the overtime provision above. This section pertains to hold over only, all call outs shall remain in strict compliance with the call out procedure contained herein.
