Lunch and Rest Breaks. The parties agree to specifically supersede in total the 11 State provisions regarding meal and rest periods for Employees. Employees will be entitled to meal 12 and rest periods only as described in this Agreement, and not those provided by State law. 13 The normal lunch period shall be taken as assigned by supervisor or designee. At least 14 annually, employees will select either a one half (1/2) hour or a one (1) hour unpaid lunch period 15 daily; however, an employee cannot request a change more than once a month. In the event the 16 workload necessitates that an employee takes their lunch period at a different time, such employee 17 will notify the supervisor via e-mail. This provision shall be fairly applied, and give reasonable 18 consideration to incidental job duties that may prevent timely notification, and variations in clocks or 19 email delivery time. DJA supports the reduction of one hour meal periods to 1/2 hour meal periods, 20 as long as this change does not cause operational disruptions, or overtime obligations due to court 21 going beyond normal ending time at the end of the day. To this end, supervisors will be authorized 22 by management to use their discretion to allow this reduction in the meal period for employees who 23 so request. Supervisors will be required to manage these requests so that if overtime is reasonably 24 likely, said request will be denied. If a request is granted and that particular court routinely runs 25 beyond normal end time, the approval will be rescinded. This practice will be reviewed by 26 management and may be discussed in LMC during the term of this Agreement in order to make any 27 process improvements deemed necessary by management. Neither this Section (i.e., Section 4.5) nor 28 the practice of granting, denying or rescinding ½ hour lunch requests are grievable beyond the DJA
