Equalizing Overtime Clause Samples

The Equalizing Overtime clause ensures that overtime work opportunities are distributed fairly among eligible employees. In practice, this means that when overtime is required, the employer tracks and offers these extra hours to employees in a way that balances the total overtime worked over a set period, such as by rotating offers or maintaining records of hours worked. This clause helps prevent favoritism or overburdening certain employees, promoting fairness and transparency in overtime assignments.

Equalizing Overtime. 13.01 Overtime shall be equitably distributed as is practical among employees in the department, as outlined in Schedule “D”, and performing the work to be done. The overtime shall be considered equitably distributed when the ratio of hours of overtime pay divided by hours of straight time work, which will be referred to as the overtime ratio, are equal for employees in a specific department, on a specific shift and within a specific departmental job classification on the shift. Errors in the equitable distribution will be corrected by offering overtime assignments as they become available in the classification in question, until such time as the situation is corrected. It is understood that the Company’s obligation, with respect to the distribution of overtime, applies only to those employees at work on the shift within the department or classification at the time the overtime is assigned. When reasonably possible, employees will be notified the work day before weekday overtime, and the Thursday before weekend overtime. Any offer of overtime which is refused, provided at least eight (8) hours advance notice was given, will be charged to the employee as overtime worked for the purpose of equalization of overtime. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient employees within the classification or department, the opportunity to work the overtime will be given to employees who have signed an “Overtime Notice” which is posted on the Company Bulletin Boards on a monthly basis, provided the employees have the skill and ability to perform the overtime assignments available. If this step is required then the following will apply: a) Employees working on the shift that the overtime is required will be asked first in inverse order of their overtime ratio. b) All other employees on the “Overtime Notice” who are not at work, but not on vacation will be called in inverse order of their overtime ratio. Should it be necessary to phone employees at home, the Company shall have a Union ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ present to verify the calls. The Company will maintain records of all overtime worked for verification of distribution of hours. Failure to sign the “Overtime Notice” shall not disqualify or penalize any employee from the solicitation for an opportunity to perform any future overtime work.

Related to Equalizing Overtime

  • Equalization of Overtime (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section, overtime worked shall be divided as equally as possible among the employees who normally perform the work in the Department where the work is to be accomplished and within their job classification. The goal of distributing overtime as equally as possible refers to overtime distribution within a crew on an annual basis. Crew Leaders and Plant Operations Shift Coordinators shall keep daily logs and once per week update the weekly overtime sheet. Based on this update, a new weekly overtime list will be prepared and distributed on Fridays. The employer is not required to break works in progress for the purpose of equalizing distribution of overtime. For Monday through Friday crews, overtime occurring as an extension of the shift may be assigned based on agreement of the crew. Provided, however, on the Utility Worker-Fuel Handler Crew, the Commission shall not be required to break works in progress if the Crew Leader determines that the overtime is not likely to last more than three (3) hours. An employee transferring between departments will be considered to have overtime equal to the highest employee doing the same work on the date the transfer was effective. When an employee has been so excused, notation shall be made on the overtime records that the employee has been offered and has refused the number of hours which would have been worked, and those hours shall be considered as "hours worked" in the future distribution of overtime. (b) In selecting employees for scheduling or planned overtime the Commission will excuse employees who do not want the assignment, provided the required number of qualified employees are available. The option of the employees to turn down assignment to scheduled or planned overtime, provided there is enough qualified employees available, is not intended to apply to emergency overtime. (c) When additional help is needed beyond the number desiring the assignment, the additional assignments will be made in inverse order of the amount of overtime worked. Employees in this instance, must make themselves promptly available for work. (d) The following definitions shall apply for the purpose of assignment of overtime is concerned: 1) Scheduled or planned overtime shall mean work for which at least 24 hours notice has been given. 2) Emergency overtime shall mean work for which, if not accomplished, will interfere with the Commission's obligation to provide continuous operations for the health and safety of the general public. Employees do not have the option to turn down an assignment to emergency overtime. (e) Additional provisions relating to firing line: 1) A firing line worker will be considered to be on vacation, and thus not normally subject to call to fill an overtime shift, only if approved vacation, compensatory time or personal day brackets the beginning or end of scheduled days off. 2) A firing line relief person may have his/her work schedule changed at any time to cover a shift. 3) On the firing line, in the absence of a relief person, it is the responsibility of the qualified person in the classification who is lowest in overtime hours and is scheduled off to cover the uncovered shift when such shift does not interfere with his/her normal shift. (f) An employee returning from extended sick leave of more than 30 working days shall have their overtime hours adjusted to match the low employee in overtime on the crew, or maintain present number of hours, if not low.

  • Mandatory Overtime a. Mandatory Overtime is overtime that an employee is assigned and required to work involuntarily, and will only be required in operational emergencies when sufficient voluntary overtime cannot be secured to maintain the Company’s operation. Mandatory overtime will be limited to the number of employees and hours required to cover the emergency as determined by local management. b. Mandatory overtime will not exceed 4 hours past an employee’s scheduled shift in any 24 hour period. Employees will not be required to work mandatory overtime until the opportunity to work the additional hours has been offered to all qualified employees who are currently at work, and if there are an insufficient number of volunteers, then to otherwise eligible employees whose names remain on the overtime call sign up list. c. Mandatory overtime will be assigned in reverse bid seniority order according to shift time, except that employees already working overtime will be assigned last. d. Every attempt will be made to notify employees on duty of mandatory overtime at least 1 hour in advance. If 1 hour’s advance notice is not provided, the employee will receive 1 ½ hours’ pay as a penalty in addition to the pay earned for any mandatory overtime hours actually worked. e. Employees will not be assigned mandatory overtime during their vacation periods. For this purpose, the vacation period is defined as the period beginning 24 hours after the commencement of the employee’s last regularly scheduled shift before the vacation commenced. An employee may be assigned to mandatory overtime on the last regularly assigned shift prior to a vacation or DAT day, but will be placed at the bottom of the mandatory overtime list. f. If any mandatory overtime causes a rest period violation to occur, every attempt will be made to adjust the employee’s shift to provide the minimum 8 hours rest. g. All mandatory overtime hours will be paid at the applicable rate of pay but not less than the time and one half (1.5X) rate of pay regardless of work status or hours worked. If an employee is required to work mandatory overtime on two or more consecutive days, the minimum payment for all mandatory overtime hours worked will be at the double-time (2X) rate of pay.

  • Overtime Equalization The assignment of overtime shall be reasonably equalized within classifications. The normal maximum hours officers will be scheduled is (15) fifteen hours. Upon field training competition, probationary officers will begin their total overtime hours on the overtime equalization chart at the average of all members within the officer classification. An overtime equalization chart shall be maintained within the department. The chart shall list all overtime offers and each officer’s declined and accepted hours for each particular offer. Each time an officer is offered overtime, the number of overtime hours worked, or the number of hours declined, will be credited to officer’s chart. The overtime equalization chart shall be posted monthly.

  • Sharing of Overtime Overtime work shall be allocated equitably to qualified employees considering their availability and location.

  • Distribution of Overtime Overtime shall be distributed as equally as feasible among qualified employees customarily performing the kind of work required, and currently assigned to the work unit in which the overtime is to be worked. When the assignment of overtime work causes an unusual burden upon the employee, the employee shall not be required to work overtime unless the absence would cause the Agency to be unable to meet its responsibilities.
