Call-ins will be shared as fairly and equitably as possible based on the most senior employee being called first, on a rotating basis. Call-ins will be by shift, not by number of hours. Each call-in will be indicated in the call-in book as “accepted”, “no answer” or paid by “refused”. The Employer shall bypass an employee on the employerlist who would be eligible for overtime premium if called in to work until such time as all employees who are available would be eligible for overtime pay. Where the employer requires employees Part-time staff have regularly scheduled shifts and their first commitment is to attend classes of instruction or examinations the time spent shall be paid at the employee’s ordinary time rate of pay but shall not count as time worked for the purposes of calculation of any overtime entitlements. Alternatively the employer and employee may agree to paid time in lieu instead of paymentthose shifts.
