5.05 Overtime Provisions

a) Weekday Overtime

Subject to the need for assigning work with a minimum delay, the Employer agrees to equalize overtime work opportunities on a continuing, ongoing basis among all employees on the shift.

The procedure to be followed in equalizing overtime work opportunities will be as follows: sheets will go up each Monday outlining where overtime opportunities may be available by date and time and employees may sign when they are available. Each day the Supervisor will assign the opportunities for that day by starting from where the list left off the previous occasion that overtime was offered. An opportunity is defined as the chance to come in early or stay late on each shift. Where employees are working weekday overtime on another shift, it is understood that their seniority and/or classification will not be a factor in assigning work.

For Shipping and Receiving and Maintenance, overtime opportunities will be restricted to those within the classification. If no one volunteers and there are qualified employees on the shift they will be afforded the opportunity to work.

b) Weekend Overtime

On Monday, a sign-up sheet for anticipated overtime will be posted and by 7:00 am, when possible, on Thursday, a schedule will be posted showing the scheduled workers. If there are more volunteers than required, the most senior employee volunteers within classification will be scheduled to work. Volunteers will be assigned positions first based on seniority within their classification and then by plant seniority provided they are qualified to perform the work. Employees must work on their regular shift if it is working on the weekend.

(c) General

In the event there are not an adequate number of qualified volunteer employees to do the overtime work required in either (a) or (b) above, then the least senior employees by classification shall be required to do the overtime. However, no employee will be required to work beyond forty-eight (48) hours in a week or eight (8) hours in a day. It is understood that voluntary overtime is hours worked over and above the forty­eight (48) hour per week and eight (8) hour per day limit. Subject to the forty-eight (48) hour and eight (8) hour limitation, the Union

will support the Company's application for an excess hours permit.

Notwithstanding the above, it is specifically understood and agreed between the parties that under normal circumstances no employee in a classification will be mandated to work on more than three consecutive weekends. Nothing in this agreement or article limits the ability of the employer to mandate other employees as a result of the application of this article.

d) It is specifically understood and agreed between the parties that if and in the event there is not an adequate number of volunteer employees in a classification to do the overtime work required, then the least senior employee in the classification by shift shall be expected to do the overtime required.

e) Except for an emergency, Act of God, unforeseen, urgent customer needs or circumstances beyond the Employer's control, no employee shall be required to work overtime without a twenty-four (24) hour notice scheduling said employee for overtime work during the week or on the weekend.

5.06. Employees, who, in the absence of advance notice and by request of the Company, work four (4) or more hours overtime beyond their regular shift, shall receive a fifteen (15) minute break period before starting the overtime hours. Employees will also be entitled to a ten (10) minute break at the next scheduled break for that shift.

5.07 Where employees are working overtime on another shift it is understood that their seniority will not be a factor in assigning work. A senior employee on overtime will not be able to "bump" based on seniority.

Relief and Lunch Periods

5.08 For a one or two shift operation all employees shall be granted a ten (10) minute relief period in the morning and ten (10) minute relief in the afternoon. Employees are also allowed a thirty (30) minute unpaid lunch break. All relief and lunch breaks shall be scheduled at the discretion of the Company. For a 3 shift operation, the employees shall be granted a ten (10) minute relief period in the morning and a ten (10) minute relief in the afternoon. Employees are also allowed a twenty (20) minute paid break for lunch.

5.09 There will be a five minute paid clean-up period at the end of each shift.

c) To perform experimental, prototype, changeovers, development, maintenance and/or research work.

ARTICLE 7 - REPORTING PAY

7.01 All seniority employees who report at their departments and find no work available in their regular classification, shall be paid not less than four (4) hours straight-time pay at their regular rate for that day, except in cases of emergency brought about by causes or factors beyond the control of the Employer such as, but without limitation: fires, floods, lightning, power, steam or water failure. Such employee reporting to work and guaranteed four (4) hours pay, shall do other reasonable work assigned to the employee by the Employer. If an employee elects not to perform the work assigned, then said employee may go home with perm1ss1on. The employee shall then be paid only for the hours worked.

Such probationary employee may be disciplined, discharged or laid off at any time for any reason in the sole discretion of the Company, provided it is not discriminatory or in bad faith. Such action(s) shall not be subject to the grievance or arbitration procedure. The seniority of probationary employees retained beyond the sixty (60) worked days of employment shall begin from the date of their employment. The parties agree that probationary employees will have a performance review prior to their 30th shift worked and that the sixty (60) worked days may be extended by mutual agreement. Union representation will be present whenever a probationary employee is disciplined, discharged or has their probation extended.

The Company may temporarily layoff employees due to:

a) Breakdowns in equipment,

b) Material shortages,

c) Temporary changes in schedules,

8.04 Indefinite Layoff

When the Company determines a reduction in the workforce or a portion of the workforce is required, employees will be removed from their classifications on their shift based on plant seniority and ability. Where all things are relatively equal, the senior employee will be retained. If the affected employee does not have the seniority necessary to maintain his position in the classification on his shift, he shall bump the junior employee on his shift. All employees displaced from their shift will fill the vacancies created on other shifts with the most senior employees having preference of shift, subject to availability.
