HOURS OF WORK, OVERTIME AND HOLIDAY. PAY 1. The normal work week shall be forty (40) hours. 2. The Employer shall have the option of scheduling the work week on an eight (8) hour or a ten (10) hour daily basis. 3. Should an employee not work on a regularly scheduled work day or days due to the shut down, weather or other reason involving the project, the Employer may schedule the remaining day or days as make up. On weather days, foremen are permitted to do yard/field work under the Employer’s supervision for up to forty (40) hours during the one-year term of this Agreement. If additional weather-day yard/field work beyond the 40-hours is made available, such work will be distributed to foremen at the Employer’s discretion, not necessarily based on seniority. 4. All hours worked by employees in excess of forty (40) hours per week or on Sundays shall be at the rate of time and one-half the straight time rate. 5. If work is performed on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day, it shall be paid at double the straight time rate. If one of the holidays falls on a Sunday, it shall be observed on a Monday. Accordingly, if such an event occurs, work performed on Sunday shall be paid for at the regular time (time and one-half) for that day; work performed on Monday will be paid at double the straight time rate. If no work is performed on Monday, no pay unless it is a “paid holiday”. If no work is performed, the following holidays are considered “paid holidays” and will be paid the straight time rate for eight (8) hours: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. The eight (8) hours of such holiday pay are not included when determining whether an employee worked in excess of forty (40) hours per week.
