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 overtime <br /> during the workweek in which they used sick leave only after bargaining unit <br /> employees who have not used sick leave during that workweek have been called <br /> in. <br /> 20 <br />
