HOURS OF WORK AND OVERTIME 3.10.1 The normal work year for school-term employees shall be approximately one hundred eighty (180) days, September to June. The normal work year for all other employees shall be twelve (12) months, September 1 through August 31. Employees will be given a written notice prior to the end of the school year whether there is a reasonable assurance of being rehired for the following school year for the purpose of qualifying/disqualifying the employee for unemployment compensation. On or prior to the first day that students report to school, employees will be given a written notice of their tentative hours and assignment (school and program) for the coming school year. This tentative notice shall not be construed as a guarantee of a specific number of hours or assignment for the school year. 3.10.2 The normal work week for all employees is Monday through Friday. 3.10.3 Each employee shall be assigned to a definite shift with designated beginning and ending times. 3.10.4 Each shift of more than five (5) hours per day shall include a thirty- (30) minute, duty-free lunch period without pay. With approval of the supervisor, an employee may decline a lunch period for a shift between five and six hours per day. Employees working at least four (4) hours but less than six (6) hours per day shall receive one fifteen- (15) minute paid rest period at the option of the employee. Employees working at least six (6) hours per day shall receive two fifteen (15) minute paid rest periods at the option of the employee. 3.10.5 Overtime shall be divided among employees within each job title as reflected in Appendix A. Overtime shall first be offered to the employee who is qualified to do the activity having the greatest job-title seniority. If all employees within the affected job title refuse the overtime following a second offer, the least- seniored employee who is qualified to perform the work may then be required by the employer to perform the overtime work. All overtime must have prior approval of the employee’s administrative supervisor. If the employee is called back to work after having left a District work site at the end of the shift, the employee shall be entitled to a minimum of two (2) hours’ pay. 3.10.6 All hours worked in excess of forty (40) hours a week shall be compensated at the rate of one and one-half (1 1/2) times the employee's regular hourly pay. 3.10.7 Employees shall not work outside their regular work schedules without prior authorization from an administrative supervisor. All time worked outside a regular schedule must be documented with authorization confirmed by an administrator supervisor. If authorized, an employee may request compensatory time in lieu of additional pay. If approved by the employee’s administrative supervisor, such authorization and the dates and times the compensatory time will be taken shall be promptly documented in writing prior to working beyond the regular work schedule. All compensatory time must be taken within the same fiscal year, or it will be cashed out. Compensatory time will accrue at the same rate as if the time were paid (e.g. hour for hour for work up to forty (40) hours in a week, and one and one-half (1 ½) hours for each hour of work in excess of forty (40) hours in a week. 3.10.8 Employees who are not already regularly scheduled to be working during the District’s “opening week” activity shall be scheduled to work a half-day before the school year during the “opening week” in exchange for being released a half-day on the day before Thanksgiving. This time is available for collaboration, professional development, or other activities designed to meet the needs of students. Such employees who have compensatory time remaining after the half-day of compensatory time on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving will work with their supervisor for approval to either use the excess compensatory time toward leave during ACE or other non-student learning time, or receive extra hours pay for the remaining time. For other employees, on the early release day before Thanksgiving, each employee has four options: (1) the employee and his or her administrative supervisor may make a prior agreement to schedule compensatory time on such early-release days under the conditions described in Section 3.10.7 above; (2) the employee may work his or her regular schedule if the employee and supervisor have a prior agreement that work is available; (3) the employee may take unpaid leave (as an exception to the usual practice); or (4) the employee may use personal leave for the portion of the day that students are released. These same options are available for all employees for the early release on the last day of school. 3.10.9 When schools are closed early for inclement weather or other emergency, employees shall be permitted to leave immediately after duties are completed or the employee has been dismissed by an administrator. In such situations, an employee shall be paid for actual hours worked or a minimum of three (3) hours’ whichever is more (unless the employee’s shift is less than three (3) hours in which case the employee shall be paid for the full shift). When there is a change in the school opening schedule or cancellation for inclement weather or other emergencies, employees are to be notified either by phone or other electronic means by 6:00 a.

Ordinary Hours of Work The ordinary hours of work will be worked any time between 6.00am to 6.00pm Monday to Friday. Ordinary hours of work may be varied by agreement between the Employer and the majority of the employees concerned and the ETU State Secretary (via the relevant full time ETU Official) to accommodate the hours or work required for the most efficient and safe operation of the Employer and the requirements of its client. Where agreement is reached to work alternate hours, occupational health and safety principles will prevail.

Matters on which agreement may be reached include: a) How the hours are to be averaged in a work cycle b) The duration of the work cycle
