Common use of Extra Trip Clause in Contracts

These trips may include field trips, sporting events, music events or other trips that do not regularly occur from day to day. (1) At the beginning of each school year a rotation list will be created from the drivers who express interest in driving extra trips. The drivers will be listed by seniority. Rotations will be offered by seniority at the beginning of the school year. The extra trips will then be offered to the next senior driver as they are posted on the trip board. (2) Any driver added to the list after the start of the year will begin their rotation at the bottom of the list. (3) Driver trip assignments will be posted once each week. Known trips for the week will be sorted by the trips estimated length with the longest trip for each day listed first. The trips will then be offered/assigned for each day to available drivers in the order of the weekly rotational list. A 48-hour notification should precede any trip. If said notice is not given and the trip refused, a driver will not lose his/her place in rotation. After the refusal of a trip the next available driver in rotation (an available driver is a driver who is not making a run or trip for CUSD 66 at the time of the trip) will be assigned the trip. (4) It will be the responsibility of each driver to check the assignment board and notify the supervisor 24 hours in advance if they tum down a trip assignment. If drivers cannot drive their assigned trip due to illness or an emergency and less than 24 hours' notice is given the trip will be assigned at the discretion of the supervisor.
