Common use of EMPLOYEE WORKING CONDITIONS Clause in Contracts

EMPLOYEE WORKING CONDITIONS. a. To every degree possible, each SRP shall be granted approximately a thirty (30) minute (depending upon lunch schedules) continuous, uninterrupted duty-free lunch period except in emergency conditions in which the health and welfare of students is effected, as determined by the supervisor or his designee. b. All employees working eight (8) hours or more per day excluding lunch will receive two fifteen (15) minute breaks per day. Designated break times will be posted by the supervisor or his designee. c. No SRP shall be required to work beyond their normal workday without compensatory leave. When overtime is necessary, overtime shall be granted at a rate of one times each hour for each hour beyond their normal work week until the employee reaches forty (40) hours. At that point, the employee shall be granted a rate of one and one- half (1.5) times for each hour in excess of a forty (40) hour work week. Overtime work will be distributed among qualified employees in the same classification within the worksite on an equitable basis by rotating such work through the appropriate seniority list. This does not preclude the administration from selecting a specific employee to perform tasks which require that employee's special expertise. Overtime shall have prior authorization by the Superintendent or his designee.
