HOURS OF WORK AND OVERTIME Section 17.1 The regular work week and regular work day of all employees shall be established by the Board or its designee and there shall be no guarantee to any employee of any number of hours of work per day or per week. All employees shall be paid one and one-half (1-1/2) times their regular hourly rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of forty (40) hours in any one (1) work week, at the job classification(s) wage rate(s) within which they worked during the overtime hours. The work week shall be Monday through Sunday. All hours worked by an employee which are paid as overtime hours or which are beyond the employee’s regularly scheduled work day or work week must have the prior approval of supervision. All extra time, other than regularly scheduled hours and/or regularly scheduled overtime, shall be paid on a one pay period delay. Overtime will be assigned on a rotation by seniority basis for maintenance, custodial and transportation employees in each building. Overtime will be offered to the most senior person first on a continuous seniority rotation basis. If they refuse the overtime, the offer goes to the next senior and so on. Once an employee accepts overtime, they go to the bottom of the rotation list until all other employees receive an overtime assignment, or at least have the first right of refusal. If an employee turns down overtime, he/she will not be eligible for the next available overtime until the continuous seniority rotation has been completed. The number of overtime hours will not factor into the overtime rotation. Employees who have accepted overtime will be able to accept the next overtime opportunity, but only if all other eligible building employees in that classification have refused the overtime. When no regular custodian in a building accepts the overtime opportunity, overtime shall be offered by seniority to other employees in that classification who respond to an overtime notice posted in the custodial area of the building. If an employee responds to this overtime notice, he/she must accept the assignment.
Section 17.2 Newly hired employees may be scheduled for a regular work week or regular work day of fewer work hours than are worked by other employees within their job classification.
Section 17.3 Hours for which an employee is paid, but which he or she does not work, because of approved paid sick leave, approved paid personal business leave, paid jury duty, or paid vacation, shall not be computed as hours of work for the purpose of determining the number of hours worked during a work week for overtime pay purposes under this Article. Hours for which an employee is paid, but which he or she does not work, because of a holiday recognized as a paid holiday under this Agreement or a calamity day, shall be computed as hours of work for the purpose of determining the number of hours worked during a work week for overtime pay purposes under this Article, but only if the holiday(s) missed from work fall within the regularly scheduled work week of the employee.
Section 17.4 When it becomes necessary to close schools because of inclement weather or calamity, employees will receive their regular hourly rate of pay for all hours missed from work due to the inclement weather or calamity, provided they would have otherwise worked those hours during their regularly scheduled work day. Employees who work on inclement weather or calamity days when schools are officially closed, shall receive the following: (1) Their regular rate of pay times their regular number of hours. (2) In addition they will receive their regular rate of pay for all hours actually worked on calamity days. Transportation employees who work on inclement weather days or calamity days under Plan B shall be compensated at their regular hourly wage rates for all hours worked beyond their regularly scheduled driving time.
Section 17.5 An employee who is called in to work and who makes a separate trip both to and from work for a period of work other than the employee’s regularly scheduled work day, shall receive a minimum of two (2) hours pay.
Section 17.6 The working time of each employee is to be devoted exclusively to productive work and the Association agrees that its officers, representatives, agents and members will not solicit employees for Association membership or conduct any other Association business or activity during working time or otherwise interfere with any employees during working time, unless otherwise approved in advance by supervision. There will be no restriction of Association talk during employees lunch or dinner break, or their break time, or if approved by supervisor or administrator.
Section 17.7 In the event it is necessary for the Board to permanently reduce the number of regularly scheduled overtime or straight time work hours per work day or work week for those employees in a job classification, due to lack of work, lack of funds or abolishment of positions, the employees within the classification shall be reduced according to the amount of seniority they have within the classification, as defined in Section 6.3 of this Agreement, so that no senior employee within the classification will be permanently required by the Board to work fewer regularly scheduled hours per work week than any junior employee within the same classification after the permanent reduction in hours. This Section 17.7 shall not apply to newly hired employees whose work hours are scheduled under Section 17.2 above, to any employees in any job classifications who agree to work fewer hours than provided for in this Section, or to any reduced hours of work in any job classification during any summer student recess, winter student recess or spring student recess period.
Section 17.8 Compensatory time will not be earned or accumulated at anytime. All employees will be paid for any approved time worked above and beyond their regularly scheduled time.
