Common use of Assignment of Extra Work Clause in Contracts

Assignment of Extra Work. Extra work is defined as work that becomes available in a given domicile that would typically be performed by a Transfreight bargaining unit team member but does not include Schedule “B” work. There will a distinction made between extra work available in London versus Ingersoll. Each location will be administered separately for the purpose of determining DTMs who have made themselves available for extra work and the work required. Therefore, DTMs, who have made themselves available for extra work will only be called for extra work that originates out of their assigned domicile. • Extra work sign-up books are located at both the London and Ingersoll locations. DTMs who would like to make themselves available for extra work must sign the extra work sheet by 4:00 p.m. Thursday, for work available beginning on Sunday of the following week. When signing up for extra work, DTMs will be required to indicate the day(s) of the week and the time(s) of day they are available, along with their primary contact number in order to be eligible to be assigned for extra work. Please note that, unless extenuating circumstances arise, signing of the extra work sheet indicates a commitment to run any extra work assigned during the times you have indicated your availability. • In the process of completing the weekly schedules, Fleet Coordinators will utilize the extra work sign-up sheet to allocate any extra work that is available. When contacted, DTMs will be notified of all of the extra work available to them at that time. Once assigned to extra work assignments, DTMs do not have the option of switching assignments should additional extra work become available. • Fleet Coordinators will attempt to contact the most senior DTM who has signed-up for extra assignments within the time slot during which coverage is required. Fleet Coordinators will utilize the primary contact number provided by the DTM. A minimum of five minutes will be allowed prior to attempting to contact the next most senior DTM. Documentation will be kept. • Fleet or Traffic using the same process and the same extra work sheet will cover any additional extra work that becomes available after the weekly schedules have been finalized. Traffic will use whatever means they feel appropriate for work assignments that require coverage where they have less than two hours until the required start of the work assignment. • In the event that there are no available DTMs on the extra work list for the required time and date, the Company reserves the right to fill these routes in whatever manner it deems appropriate. • When determining a DTM’s availability for extra work, the company will use “system hours” rather than “logged hours” (that is, past and future hours for the applicable period). • It is the responsibility of each DTM to ensure that making themselves available for extra work will not compromise their availability to cover their regular assigned routes and will keep them in compliance with MOT/DOT Hours of Service regulations. Extra work will be assigned based on DTM availability as indicated on the sign-up sheet, contract seniority (by domicile), weekly scheduled hours and normal route assignments. DTMs will not be offered any extra work that conflicts with (a) their scheduled route(s), (b) company “hours of service” policies, or, (b) MOT/DOT Hours of Service regulations. • Extra work allocated under this process will be compensated at one times the current out-of- system rate for the work assignment being covered or at the applicable route compensation rate, if such a rate exists.
