Forced Overtime. RTC’s cannot be forced to work in excess of 48 hours in a work week. An RTC already having performed 8 hours of overtime cannot be forced to accept more overtime. When an RTC has worked or has committed to work 8 hours of overtime (forced or voluntary) in his or her workweek, the next junior RTC will be forced to cover the ad-hoc vacancy. Note: An assigned RTC’s work week begins the first rest day of their assignment. Unassigned RTC’s (Permanent-Unassigned, Temporary Unassigned or Spare) work week starts on a Friday and ends the following Thursday. RTC’s who have worked 16 of the last 24 hours (I.E. Short changes) cannot be forced. If this occurs the next junior RTC will be forced. RTC’s who accept to work overtime on an assigned rest day cannot be forced to work additional overtime should a subsequent vacancy occur that day. If this occurs, the next junior RTC will be forced. RTC’s who accept an overtime call on a specific desk will not be forced (re-assigned) to work another assignment other than the one they were originally called for.
