Overtime Equalization Clause Samples
The Overtime Equalization clause ensures that opportunities for overtime work are distributed fairly among eligible employees. In practice, this means that employers track overtime hours and assign additional work to those with the least accumulated overtime, rather than favoring certain individuals. This clause helps prevent favoritism or overburdening specific employees, promoting fairness and transparency in overtime assignments.

Overtime Equalization a. When awarding overtime as described above, overtime hours will be balanced among employees on an equalization basis to provide the first opportunity to the employee with the least number of overtime hours and the last opportunity to the employee with the highest number of overtime hours. In balancing employees’ hours, employees’ overtime hours will include overtime hours on a straight time basis that are: (a) worked; or (b) offered and declined. If 2 or more employees’ overtime balances are equal, Bid Seniority will govern. Overtime balances will be posted electronically.
(i) The initial establishment of the overtime equalization list at a station will be accomplished by prioritizing employees in descending Bid Seniority order with 0 hours assigned to each. Balances will be zeroed quarterly and employees on the list will be reprioritized in descending bid seniority order. Stations will establish a single station equalization list.
b. No charge will be made to an employee’s overtime balance if overtime is offered and declined during an employee’s scheduled vacation.
c. When a non-probationary employee is placed on a different overtime list, the individual will initially be charged with the average hours of the employees on the list.
d. Probationary employees will be offered overtime only after all other qualified non-probationary employees on the overtime list have been considered. After the completion of probation, an employee will be placed on the overtime list and charged with the average hours of employees on that list, plus the overtime hours actually worked during the employee’s probationary period.
e. Upon returning from a leave of absence, an employee must notify management to be eligible for overtime. Upon returning from any absence of 45 days or more, the employee will be charged with previous balance or the average hours of employees on the list, whichever is greater.
f. No employee will be offered overtime which would require them to work (including their regular shift) in excess of 16 hours in any period of 24 consecutive hours.
Overtime Equalization. The assignment of overtime shall be reasonably equalized within classifications. The normal maximum hours officers will be scheduled is (15) fifteen hours. Upon field training competition, probationary officers will begin their total overtime hours on the overtime equalization chart at the average of all members within the officer classification. An overtime equalization chart shall be maintained within the department. The chart shall list all overtime offers and each officer’s declined and accepted hours for each particular offer. Each time an officer is offered overtime, the number of overtime hours worked, or the number of hours declined, will be credited to officer’s chart. The overtime equalization chart shall be posted monthly.
Overtime Equalization. The employer shall attempt to equalize the opportunity for overtime worked among employees in the same work unit and job title when feasible.
Overtime Equalization. Base station overtime opportunities (including overtime at alternate airports with- in the same metropolitan area) shall be distributed as equally as possible among those available qualified employees who are shown on an overtime list as having accrued the least number of overtime hours. Employees will not be required to sus- pend work during regular working hours to absorb overtime. An employee tem- porarily transferred to a position not covered by this Agreement shall be charged on the overtime list at the applicable rate for overtime hours he would have been offered had he not been reassigned and will not be considered as available for over- time work until he has reported for two consecutive regular scheduled shifts. The following equalization rules are to be followed:
1. Overtime hours worked or declined by an employee will be recorded as equivalent straight time hours paid or offered, in one-hour increments, rounded to the nearest full hour. No charge will be made if overtime is cancelled.
2. Employees who are physically restricted from working overtime or are absent from work shall not be called for overtime work or charged. Employees who are physically restricted from working overtime or are absent for forty-five (45) consecutive days or more shall, upon their return, be charged the average overtime hours of the employees on their overtime list or their own overtime hours, whichever is greater.
3. Overtime opportunities of one (1) hour or less will not be charged.
4. Refused overtime opportunities when less than one (1) hour advance notice is given will not be charged.
5. Holiday work, one (1) hour minimum overtime payments, short turn arounds, premium rate training, pay for inadequate notice, etc., while paid at premium rates, are not subject to these overtime distribution rules.
6. Employees without a phone number listed for overtime contact will auto- matically be charged when they would have been called.
7. Employees who are absent a scheduled shift shall not be considered avail- able for overtime work until they have reported for a regular scheduled shift.
8. Overtime balances shall be posted in places accessible to all employees affected except by local agreement between the Union and the Company. Overtime balances shall not be zeroed. Overtime balances will be reduced periodically by subtracting the same number from all totals on an overtime list.
9. When an employee is placed on a different overtime list, he shall be charged with the averag...
Overtime Equalization. Whenever a need for shift coverage occurs, that need shall be presented to bargaining unit members in the following order. The need shall first be presented to part-time bargaining unit members who would not incur overtime by working the available time according to seniority utilizing a rotating seniority list. If no part-time bargaining unit member who would not incur overtime by working the available time accepts the overtime opportunity, it shall be presented to full-time bargaining unit members according to seniority utilizing a rotating seniority list. If no full- time bargaining unit member agrees to the overtime, it may be offered to part-time bargaining unit members who would incur overtime by working the available time according to seniority utilizing a rotating seniority list. The full-time employee rotating seniority lists shall operate as follows. The list shall be initially arranged according to seniority. When a need arises, the person at the top of the list is contacted. If that person accepts the assignment, declines or cannot be reached, that person is moved to the bottom of the list and the next most senior person is called. This process shall continue until the assignment is filled, everyone on the list declines or everyone on the list has been called. At the next overtime need, the list shall begin with the employee where it left off on the previous need. The part-time employee rotating seniority lists shall operate as follows. The list shall be initially arranged according to seniority. When a need arises, the person at the top of the list is contacted. If that person would incur overtime, declines, is eligible and accepts or cannot be reached, that person is moved to the bottom of the list and the next most senior person is called. This process shall continue until the assignment is filled, everyone on the list declines, is ineligible or everyone on the list has been called. After full-time employees have been offered the overtime, the part-time employee list shall again be used with everyone on the list, regardless of overtime status, being eligible for the overtime. At the next overtime need, the list shall begin with the employee were it left off on the previous need.
Overtime Equalization. 16.01 Scheduled overtime will be evenly distributed when reasonably possible among those employees in the same classification and on the same shift provided they are able to satisfactorily perform the work to be done. In the event an employee voluntarily misses a turn at such overtime, the employee shall be considered as having worked that turn insofar as distribution of such overtime is concerned.
16.02 When the Employer requires an employee to work overtime that is not scheduled more than forty-eight (48) hours in advance, the Employer will invite employees to work overtime in accordance with the following procedure:
(a) The classification in which the overtime is required will be identified.
(b) Employees in that classification who are presently at work and who express interest will be invited to work the overtime starting with the full-time employee(s) who records show has actually worked the least overtime over the past three (3) months.
(c) If insufficient employees volunteer to work overtime, the Employer will advise the most junior qualified worker in the classification to perform such work. In such circumstances the employee will not be required to work in excess of two (2) hours beyond their regularly scheduled shift.
16.03 New hires and employees transferred from one classification to another will be credited with the average number of overtime hours of the employees in that classification.
16.04 If the Union feels that the overtime has been distributed improperly, they may request and the Employer will provide a copy of their overtime tracking for that classification. Any verified claim of improper distribution in a classification shall result in the employee being given an opportunity to work overtime in his or her classification within seven (7) days of verification or if overtime is unavailable, the employee will be paid the missed overtime. Such overtime will not displace another employee.
Overtime Equalization. Insofar as it is practicable to do so, job assignments during periods of overtime work will be arranged so that overtime is equitably distributed among team members engaged in similar work, on a shift, within groups to be mutually determined. A record of overtime will be posted, or provided otherwise as agreed, in each section and periodically updated as agreed to by the parties.
Overtime Equalization. The Employer will make a good faith effort to equalize the offer of scheduled overtime among employees in the same work unit and classification where training and ability are sufficient to do the work. The Employer, in the selection of employees to work volunteer overtime, shall first select employees from the volunteer over-time sign-up sheet and shall not pre-arrange facility post overtime for employees who are not signed up. The distribution of overtime shall be attempted to be equalized each two-month period beginning on the first day of the calendar month following the effective date of this Agreement or on the first day of any calendar month the Agreement becomes effective.
Overtime Equalization. Employees who are scheduled to flip from Thursday, Friday and Saturday to Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (that is, Sunday is their only day off) will not be allowed to work overtime on the Sunday and they will not be charged for that missed opportunity. All overtime will be voluntary.
Overtime Equalization. Overtime work shall be offered equally among employees within the same job classification within each work unit, provided the employee is available and qualified to perform the work required. It is further provided that the City shall schedule known weekend overtime by the end of the fourth (4th) day of an employee's workweek. Except where conditions beyond the City's control require the cancellation of scheduled weekend overtime, scheduled weekend overtime shall be canceled prior to the end of the fifth (5th) day of an employee's workweek. Notification and cancellation times for scheduled overtime will be adjusted appropriately for employees working an alternate schedule.
9.2.1 A record of overtime hours worked or offered to each employee shall be maintained in each work unit for each month and available upon request. In work units consisting of five (5) or more employees within the same classification, such information shall be posted. The equalization of overtime shall be reviewed no less than each three (3) month period starting July 1, of any year. For the purpose of equalization, overtime offered shall be counted the same as overtime worked. By mutual agreement the City and Union may meet to discuss perceived systematic inequities that may be occurring.
