ABSORBING OVERTIME. Employees will not be required to suspend work during regular working hours to absorb overtime. When a signal crew or employees in a signal shop are needed for work outside regular working hours and such work does not require all the members of that crew or shop, the senior qualified employee(s) will be given preference to the overtime, with the obligation to work such overtime being applied in reverse seniority order. It is recognized that situations may arise that will require immediate action and employees assigned to a specific project, such as the wiring of a bungalow in a shop, may be required to complete the project on an overtime basis without regard to the seniority preference for overtime work in order to expedite completion and field installation.
