When a shift worker works on their scheduled day off for a holiday, they shall be compensated for the holiday plus double time for all hours worked on such day.
When a regularly scheduled employee (Monday through Friday) works on a holiday, the employee shall be compensated for the holiday plus double time for all hours worked on such holiday. A minimum of four (4) hours pay at the appropriate overtime rate shall be guaranteed to such employee.
When the holiday falls on a Saturday and the City celebrates the holiday on Friday, if an employee works Friday the employee shall be compensated at the double time rate for all hours worked on Friday. In the event the employee works on Saturday, the employee shall be compensated time and one-half for all hours worked on the Saturday. In the event the holiday falls on Sunday and is observed on Monday, this same rule shall apply.
The overtime guarantee set forth herein shall not be applied to those situations where the employee is attending a pre-scheduled meeting; or to attend a required court hearing as a witness in connection with their City employment. In such cases the employee shall be guaranteed two hours pay at the appropriate overtime rate rather than the four (4) hours.
All work in excess of an eight (8) hour shift within a twenty-four (24) hour period shall be compensated as overtime except where there is a Divisional Agreement that specifies otherwise.
When there is a change in shift assignments for the next year, when there is mandatory training, there shall be no less than eight (8) hours off between shifts.
(a) It is the intent of this section to schedule necessary overtime work as evenly as possible among the employees who have completed their original probationary period and are qualified to perform the necessary work. The seniority rotating overtime list shall be established as to job classification according to the employee's unit seniority and such list shall be kept current and posted. The list shall be followed except as otherwise provided by Divisional Agreements and current practices. The overtime rotating list will be re-established annually at the beginning of the first shift, January 1 of each year according to the aforementioned criteria. All overtime hours worked shall become part of the seniority rotating overtime list of all employees.
(b) Once established, the list shall be adhered to in the selection of employees to work overtime with the exception that: If a particular incident requires overtime to be worked contiguous to the shift in order to complete or further the progress on such incident, then the employee who has been working the incident on his/her regular shift may be allowed to continue with the same incident during the overtime period;
(c) It is also the intent of this section to facilitate overtime scheduling and call out. When an employee is requested to work and refuses such overtime assignment, the employee shall be charged with such overtime. When an employee repeatedly refuses all overtime in a rolling ninety (90) day period, they may be removed from the overtime rotating list for thirty (30) days after written notification has been given to the employee and the responsible Union Steward stating the just cause for removal. The employee may only be reinstated at the written request of the employee and responsible Union Steward, with the written request including justification for the requested reinstatement. Such reinstatement will not be unreasonably withheld. Upon reinstatement the affected employee will be charged with one hour more than the maximum amount of overtime within their job classification on the overtime rotating list.
(d) An employee can be voluntarily removed from the overtime rotating list by submitting a written request to the Bureau Head. To be reinstated to the overtime rotating list an employee must submit a request in writing and will be charged with one (1) hour more than the maximum amount of overtime within their job classification on the overtime rotating list. This does not preclude an employee from being forced for overtime.
New employees shall not be eligible to work overtime until thirty (30) calendar days after they have been notified in writing that they can perform their work duties unassisted. When a new employee becomes eligible to work overtime, the employee shall be charged with the hours of the employee having the greatest amount of overtime hours in the appropriate unit of the Communications Bureau.
(a) Employees that are promoted into a different classification or either transferred or demoted to a different operational unit shall be eligible to work overtime thirty (30) calendar days after they have been notified in writing that they can perform their work duties unassisted.
(b) Employees who have been promoted, transferred or demoted shall be charged with the average amount of overtime hours in the appropriate unit of the Communications Bureau and shall be so placed on the overtime rotating list.
(a) When an employee refuses overtime and it is imperative that overtime be worked, a rolling forced overtime rotating list will be used. This list will be established by reverse seniority. Forced overtime will be filled by ordering the operator(s) who have the longest period of time from their last force. In case of a tie, the least senior operator(s) will be forced. This is a rolling list and will start over at the beginning of each calendar year, beginning first shift - January 1. Employees off on scheduled vacation days shall not be forced when other employees are available.
(b) An employee who has accepted overtime who cannot work the overtime must notify their department thirty (30) minutes before the start of the overtime, or following normal daily notice procedures if different. An employee who does not work after accepting the overtime will be charged with double the amount of overtime hours worked. An employee who fails to work accepted overtime on three (3) occasions in a six (6) month period and has not provided the advance notice, shall be removed from the overtime rotating list for six (6) months and may be reinstated thereafter under the provisions of Section 2115.76, “Overtime Rotating List”. This paragraph shall take effect thirty (30) days after distribution of the 2002 contract books.
(c) Emergency overtime is defined as a non-scheduled overtime situation which threatens the health and safety services of the citizens of Toledo. Issues involving emergency overtime regarding safety forces will be addressed in divisional agreements.
It is the intent of the parties hereto that the overtime premium hours shall be kept equal within eight (8) hours for day workers and sixteen (16) hours for shift workers.
No employee shall work more than sixteen (16) continuous hours except in emergency situations where other qualified personnel are not available.
