In such case, the City shall contact the next employee on such list — that is, the employee scheduled to accept overtime assignments for the following week — and request that such employee accept overtime assign- ments for the subject week. The City shall proceed in this manner until an employee agrees to accept such overtime assignments for said week. The employee originally scheduled for said week shall forfeit his or her right to work overtime assignments that week; the employee who accepts such assignments shall remain entitled to work all overtime assignments for the week for which he or she was originally scheduled. If all employees refuse to accept such assignments, overtime for that week will be assigned as provided elsewhere herein in the absence of overtime lists established on a weekly basis. Section 8. Employees assigned to telephone other employees for the purpose of request- ing or ordering said other employees to report for overtime duty, and who are required to make such telephone calls during other than regularly assigned duty hours, shall be paid Five Dollars ($5.00) for each such incident of overtime regardless of the number of employees required to work. Section 9. The City and the Union agree that: (a) No Information Technology(IT) Department employee will be required to be placed in "on call"status. (b) Once each quarter, IT Department bargaining unit employees will be afforded an op- portunity to volunteer to be placed on a roster for"on call"status and to carry a pager. IT Depart- ment bargaining unit employees who elect not to so volunteer will not be eligible for any scheduled overtime for the duration of the quarter in question. (c) Employees who volunteer for"on call"status, but who fail to respond to a page or call during such status, will not be subject to discipline; provided that, such employee has notified his or her immediate supervisor of any change in status prior to having been called for duty. ARTICLE 8 SENIORITY Section 1. Except as defined elsewhere in the contract, seniority shall, for the purposes of the agreement, be defined as an employee's continuous length of service since the date of acceptance with the City in a position covered by this agreement. Seniority for full-time employ- ees is determined by their ranking on the Civil Service register when more than one individual begins employment in the same classification on the same day. Section 2. A classified employee who takes a non-classified position shall have his/her classified seniority stop. If the non-classified employee returns to the classified service, his/her seniority will continue less the time spent in the non-classified position. 14
