Common use of Mandatory Overtime Assignments Clause in Contracts

Mandatory Overtime Assignments. If an insufficient number of employees accept the overtime work or the employee(s) accepting the overtime work are, at the Employer’s sole discretion, unable to either efficiently or adequately perform the work, the Employer may assign the overtime work to those individuals it determines are necessary to adequately and efficiently perform the work. Said mandatory assignment by the Employer shall be assigned on a rotating basis by escalating seniority. Once an individual has been required to work overtime, that individual shall, for purposes of this Section, move to the top of the mandatory overtime seniority list and the next least senior individual shall become the individual first considered for subsequent mandatory assignment(s). In the absence of clear operational needs, individuals on regularly scheduled days off shall not be required to work overtime. Any employee assigned to work within a classification and eligible to work voluntary overtime assignments in that classification shall only be required to work mandatory overtime within the classification that they are then currently assigned.
