ARTICLE 13 - OVERTIME <br /> Recognizing that emergencies, vacations, sickness or other unforeseen conditions may require <br /> an employee to work overtime, time-and-one-half of the employee's regular hourly rate shall be <br /> paid under any of the following conditions: <br /> 1. All work performed in excess of the regularly assigned work shift. <br /> 2. All work performed in excess of the regularly assigned work week. <br /> Bargaining unit employees are subject to being called back to work to complete a shift. <br /> Employees called back after 0800 of the same day to complete a shift shall be paid for a <br /> minimum of two (2) hours plus actual hours worked excluding travel time. <br /> In the event that an employee is awarded an overtime shift, before or after 0800, and the <br /> overtime is subsequently cancelled within 12 hours of the report time, the employee shall be <br /> paid for a minimum of two (2) hours plus actual hours worked. <br /> As per Article 14, employees called in for multiple alarm incidents shall be paid for a minimum of <br /> two (2) hours plus actual time worked from the time they report to the on-duty Battalion Chief or <br /> designee either in person or from an Everett Fire Department fire station using a City phone. <br /> All overtime, except for emergency work, mandatory education and mandatory overtime, shall <br /> be recorded on an overtime list as established by the Chief of the Department. Examples of <br /> mandatory education and overtime shall include, but not be limited to, all certification and <br /> recertifications, holdovers, and all required training. This list shall be audited by a union <br /> committee as needed, to insure that a fair and accurate recording of hours is kept. To keep <br /> parity in the overtime hours, a differential of 24 hours shall be used. Firefighters shall be called <br /> rank for rank until they average 24 hours ahead of officers. Then the Union Auditing Committee <br /> shall submit to the Chief of the Department, in writing, that hours are not in parity and officers <br /> shall be called rank for rank, until such time as the hours are as close to even as possible. It <br /> shall be the responsibility of the Chief of the Department and the Union Committee to see that <br /> an equal amount of hours as possible shall be divided among all members who are eligible in <br /> the Fire Department. <br /> 1. If on scheduled absences, i.e., vacation, special assignments, special offs, union <br /> officials time off, where crew shortages are not created, and the overtime is in <br /> parity, then a person on the eligibility list for that position shall be moved up in an <br /> acting capacity. If there is no person on the eligibility list for that position <br /> available, then rank for rank shall be called. <br /> 2. If no person on an eligibility list is available on a platoon, then rank for rank shall <br /> be called at the rank of the absentee. <br /> 3. In the event that an officer of the same rank cannot be located to work an <br /> overtime shift, an employee on the eligibility list for that rank shall be worked <br /> overtime. <br /> 17 <br />
