Overtime Meal Breaks: When an employee works beyond ten (10) hours per day they shall be entitled to a meal break and a meal supplied by the Company. The meal break will be provided after ten (10) hours of work and subsequent meal breaks each four (4) hours thereafter. However, it will be the prerogative of the Company in conjunction with the Job Steward to arrange meal breaks for efficiency and convenience of the job. When the four ten-hour day option is worked, recognizing emergency situations will arise, if the Company has not scheduled in excess of the ten (10) hour shift, the Company shall be granted a one (1) hour extension where a meal and meal break are not required. When an employee works scheduled overtime (work performed on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays) they shall be entitled to a meal break when overtime work exceeds ten (10) hours. When an employee works Short Notice Emergency Call-Out Overtime (overtime work performed other than continuous with the regular work day or scheduled overtime) they shall be entitled to a meal break when overtime work exceeds four (4) hours. Entitlement to subsequent meal allowances will occur at approximately four (4) hour intervals during continuing overtime. No entitlement shall occur at the conclusion of overtime. All overtime meal breaks will be thirty (30) minutes in duration and will be paid for at straight time rates. However, in calculating entitlement to a subsequent meal, the thirty (30) minute break shall not count as overtime work.

When forepersons are required to: 1) Start up to one (1) hour earlier, or 2) Finish up to one (1) hour later, or 3) Start up to one-half (1/2) hour earlier and finish up to one-half (1/2) hour later than the foreperson’s crews, for the purposes of organizing work, obtaining permits or facilitating a transition to another shift, the foreperson shall not be entitled to a meal or meal break as per Clause 16.600 unless those provisions are applicable to the rest of the crew.

It is understood that while the best possible situation is to provide an overtime meal and take a thirty (30) minute break at straight time rates, it is also recognized that there may be some situations where it is impractical to provide an overtime meal. When such events occur, the Company shall provide the employees: i) a payment of thirty dollars ($30.00) as a meal allowance. Effective January 1st, 2028, this amount increases to thirty-five dollars ($35.00). ii) a payment of thirty (30) minutes at straight time rates in lieu of the meal break; and iii) a fifteen (15) minute rest break at the applicable rate of pay.

It is not intended that an employee shall work more than sixteen (16) hours in any given twenty-four (24) hour period therefore it is established that the employee must have eight (8) continuous hours off between regular shifts or they will be paid overtime rates for all hours worked in excess of the first eight (8) until such times as they do have eight (8) continuous hours off. NMA-NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR (INTERMITTENT) 2026-2028 V2 P A G E 14 O F 26 It is the intent of this clause that no employee shall lose pay on a normal shift due to taking the required eight (8) hour break rule.
