It is not required that an EMPLOYEE working other than the normal work day be scheduled to work more than eight (8) hours, however, each EMPLOYEE has an obligation to work overtime or call backs if requested unless unusual circumstances prevent the employee from so working. 9.4 Service to the public may require the establishment of regular work weeks that schedule work on Saturdays and/or Sundays. 9.5 Straight 8 Work Schedule To provide high quality service to the residents of St. Anthony and also to provide flexibility to employees’ work schedules with the goal of increased production and delivery of City services. The straight 8-hour work schedule needs to be flexible with some constraints to be of benefit to the City of St. Anthony and its employees. The Local 49 bargaining group will use the following guidelines: • Employees’ shift shall be 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. • All crew members shall be prepared when they leave the shop with the proper tools, water, long pants, bug spray, sunscreen, safety equipment etc... • The two paid 15-minute breaks will be taken as ½ hour break at 11:00 a.m. or as the crew’s work schedule dictates. • Leave your work site at end of day with only enough time to complete required end-of-day procedures (i.e., fueling, clean-up, time cards, and transport time). • Extreme weather conditions may require that employees take additional rest and water breaks (high heat and humidity, below zero temperatures or severe wind chill). Discuss this with your supervisor before taking additional breaks. • Because of the flexibility to accommodate the daily work schedule, all employees may not be on the same break schedule. If you are on break (or before or after your work shift), make sure you are not interfering or disrupting another employee during their work hours. • This agreement must continue to be beneficial to the City of St. Anthony, its residents and its employees. Any difficulties with excessive breaks, disorganization, unfair labor requests, crew member conflicts or abuse of the program as a result of the straight 8-hour shift could result in termination of the program with 30 days written notice by either party. 9.6 Summer Hours • During the timeframe beginning Memorial Day and ending the Friday before Labor Day the work schedule will change to a work week of four (4) nine (9) hour days, Monday through Thursday,
