sewers shall be paid premium pay amounting to ninety cents (.90) per hour for each hour said overtime is worked. Such premium pay will not be paid if a foreman or supervisor is on duty for the period such foreman or supervisor is on duty. The Director of Public Works will determine the qualifications of employees for placement on either list, and seniority will be departmental senior- ity. The most senior employee on each list will remain at the top of such list for one week then rotate to the bottom while the next most senior employee occupies the top of such list for one week, and so forth. During the week that an employee is first on such list, such employee will be in on-call status pursuant to Departmental regulations and will be required to accept all sewer blockage overtime assigned during said period, except for reasons of illness or for other good cause shown. If additional employees are needed for said sewer calls, such employees shall be called in the order that they appear on said lists. Upon approval of the MSC Manager or designee, an employee may arrange for another employee (from the lead person or helper seniority list, but if none available from the applicable list, then any qualified employee of the Municipal Services Divi- sion) to cover for portions of their duty week, such arrangement being without consideration for seniority. Such approval by the MSC Manager shall not be unreasonably withheld. Section 5. (a) Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, overtime shall be subject to department rules and regulations. (b) For the purposes of this article, a regular full time qualified employee, in the position classification in which overtime is needed, shall be offered overtime before a temporary employee is offered same. Section 6. There shall be no duplication or pyramiding in the computation of overtime or other premium wages, and nothing in this Agreement shall require the payment of overtime or other premium pay more than once for the same hours worked. Section 7. If a list is established, by express contractual provision or otherwise, which provides that an employee whose name has rotated to the top of such list shall accept all overtime assignments for a specific week, such employee may notify his or her supervisor that he or she does not wish to accept such overtime assignments for that week. 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. 14
