16.5 Employees covered by this Agreement who work (actual work, not leave) sixteen <br /> (16) or more hours in any twenty-four (24) hour period will be required to take a <br /> minimum of eight (8) hours rest immediately before returning to work provided, <br /> however, this rest period shall not apply if the employee is notified of the <br /> opportunity to volunteer for the shift 24 hours or more before the beginning of the <br /> volunteered shift. Unless approved by management, employees will not be <br /> permitted to volunteer for overtime if they are unable to work all or part of their <br /> next scheduled shift due to the rest period described herein.

This <br /> provision may be suspended in declared emergencies. <br /> 16.6 The parties may enter into a Memorandum of Understanding modifying this <br /> Article. <br /> 16.7 It is agreed by the parties that Water and Wastewater Operators shall be allowed <br /> to bid on their scheduled shift and plant location.
