OVERTIME
16.01
a) When an employee is required to work in excess of the regular hours, Monday through Friday inclusive, or to work any hours on Saturdays, Sundays, or Recognized Holidays, they shall be paid overtime at double (2) time rates. b) Shift premiums as provided for in the Appendix shall apply for all hours worked on Saturdays, Sundays and Recognized Holidays. The shift premium shall not be compounded for overtime hours worked. c) It is understood that under no circumstances can it be construed that employees working on a day shift that runs into extended overtime, will earn an entitlement for shift premium pay. d) Monday through Friday, each employee must have worked all the available scheduled straight time hours of a day before receiving overtime pay for hours worked thereafter on the same day. The above requirements may be waived at the discretion of the employer in the event of a pre-planned and pre- approved absence or if the employer authorizes an unplanned absence. This discretion will be applied in a fair and consistent manner.
16.02
When an employee works more than ten (10) hours, a free meal (hot when possible) and beverage will be provided by the Employer immediately after the conclusion of ten (10) hours, and at each four (4) hour interval thereafter. The employee shall be allowed a thirty (30) minute meal break and shall be compensated at the straight time rate of pay, unless working as outlined in Article 14.06 where the applicable rate of pay will apply. At their option, the Employer may advance the meal break to the conclusion of the normal working hours or any time between then and the conclusion of the ten (10) hours. In lieu of the meal, a $25.00 meal allowance may be provided. On scheduled overtime, the foregoing may be changed by mutual consent of the Business Manager/Secretary-Treasurer and the Employer prior to the commencement of the job.
