In the event of a violation, the most senior part-time employee in the classification(s) in which the majority of that work was performed, shall receive pay for the number of additional hours that were worked over the twenty percent (20%) up to forty (40) hours. If any balance of hours remains then that balance shall be paid to the next senior part-time employee(s) in that classification until such balance is exhausted. Three (3) violations of this provision in any one (1) store within any twelve (12) month period shall result in that store being prohibited from using Utility Clerks in a higher classification for a period of twelve (12) months. Appropriate records will be kept for a minimum of six (6) weeks and made available at store level to Union Representatives, upon request.
