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. Should the eight (8) <br />hour rest period overlap any part of the employee's next regularly scheduled <br />shift, the employee will be paid straight time for the number of hours which <br />overlap, provided that the employee reports to work the remainder of the shift. <br />The rest period shall count as hours worked for purposes of overtime. 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(s). The bids shall be made <br />available for operators to review 45 days in advance and the bidding shall take <br />place in December of each year. The bids shall take effect on the first full pay <br />period in January. All bids shall be selected upon seniority within their respective <br />division. <br />16.8 When an employee reports to an assigned work location and is temporarily re- <br />assigned to another location necessitating travel between locations, the County <br />will provide transportation to the work location. If County transportation is not <br />available, the employee may use a personal vehicle and will be compensated at <br />the County's reimbursement rate. An employee may choose to drive their own <br />personal vehicle in lieu of the County vehicle, as a matter of personal <br />convenience. In this instance, the employee will not be provided with mileage <br />reimbursement if a County vehicle was available. Home to work travel is not <br />compensable. <br />21 <br />
