ARTICLE 17 <br /> OVERTIME <br /> 17 . 1 It is the policy of the County not to work beyond the regularly scheduled work <br /> week unless conditions warrant . <br /> 17 . 2 Management may schedule overtime beyond the standard hours when it is in the <br /> best interest of the County and is the most practical and economical way of <br /> meeting workloads or deadlines . <br /> 17 . 3 Employees will be required to work overtime when requested by management <br /> unless excused by management . Employees may volunteer to work overtime <br /> and should communicate that interest to their supervisors . Employees who have <br /> volunteered shall be selected to perform overtime work before non-volunteers , <br /> unless management determines that work- related reasons exist for selecting <br /> non -volunteers . Overtime will only be scheduled for those employees fully <br /> qualified to perform the work required . In all work units , overtime will be <br /> equalized among employees who are similarly classified , except as addressed in <br /> Section 17 . 4 below . All other factors being the same , seniority may be used as a <br /> selection factor. The County agrees to maintain an overtime distribution list in <br /> each work unit by classification and agrees to use such list in the distribution of <br /> overtime assignments . Employees will be charged for all overtime hours worked <br /> or refused . Employees will be charged for overtime if they cannot be contacted <br /> at their designated phone numbers . The equal distribution of overtime does not <br /> prevent the County from requiring employees that are already engaged in an <br /> unexpected overtime work assignment to continue to work . <br /> 17 . 4 For overtime computation , vacation leave , holidays , funeral leave , jury duty , and <br /> military leave shall be considered as time worked . Absences from work while on <br /> sick leave will not be counted as time worked for overtime computation . <br /> Compensatory time shall not be used as compensation for overtime . Bargaining <br /> unit employees who have used sick leave will be called in for mandatory <br /> overtime during the workweek in which they used sick leave only after bargaining <br /> unit employees who have not used sick leave during that workweek have been <br /> called in . <br /> 20 <br />
