Common use of EXTRA WORK - FIELD/ SPECIAL/ OVERNIGHT AND SUMMER TRIPS Clause in Contracts

EXTRA WORK - FIELD/ SPECIAL/ OVERNIGHT AND SUMMER TRIPS. 1. FIELD TRIPS A. Field trips will be considered as any extra trip in addition to a driver’s normal daily run, which takes more than three (3) hours. Such field trips will be assigned on a straight rotation basis to regular drivers who have indicated a desire to participate. B. The rotation will begin on a seniority basis with the driver with the most seniority having the first opportunity “not to exceed forty (40) hours weekly.” C. All drivers must sign the field trip list within the first five (5) days of school to be eligible for trips, except for a new regular driver who has one (1) full week of school to sign up. D. If a driver declines the opportunity for a field trip when their turn comes up, the refusal will be so noted, and the trip will be assigned to the next driver. The driver who declined will then miss the opportunity until the rotation cycle is completed. E. Each driver who accepts a trip is expected to take the assigned trip. Should an emergency arise and a driver be unable to drive the field trip, an attempt will be made to assign the trip to another driver on the rotation basis. F. If a field trip is cancelled after being assigned on the regular rotation, the next unassigned trip will be assigned as a replacement for the trip cancelled. G. A master chart will be developed for the purpose of keeping the rotation record. This chart will be kept on the bulletin board in the transportation office. ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ of “posted” trips will be allowed with permission of Transportation Supervisor. There will be no trading of un-posted or “future” postings. ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, teachers and aides are expected to help supervise student behavior on field trips. The bus rules used for regular routes will apply to all field trips. Although teachers and aides may be present on field trips, the driver is ultimately in charge of bus safety. Exceptions to eating/drinking rules may be authorized by the Transportation Supervisor. J. A refusal will not be charged for two (2) trips on the same day or if less than twenty-four (24) hours’ notice of an available trip is given. A refusal shall not be charged if a driver is off on an approved day off. When a trip is selected and then the driver assigned to the trip cancels within twenty-four (24) hours of said trip, the next driver in the rotation may select to accept the trip and would still be the next driver in rotation for the upcoming trips. K. The Board shall have the right to deny a driver an extra trip (e.g., field trips, special trips, overnight trips, summer trips) if the driver would be eligible to receive overtime compensation for the week if awarded the extra trip. Therefore, the Board may deviate from the procedure for selecting or assigning drivers for extra trips in situations where the driver would be eligible for overtime compensation if assigned the extra trip. L. Late refusal of a field trip, less than 24 hours’ notice to the Employer, will allow the Employer to assign a qualified non-bargaining unit employee to this work assignment.
