Section 3. Except during periods when snow and ice control shifts are in operation, em- ployees shall be scheduled to serve on a regular duty shift which has a regular starting and quitting time. Section 4. (a)A snow and ice control shift is a scheduled duty day in excess of eight (8) hours called for the purpose of snow or ice control during periods of heavy or expected heavy snowfall or ice accumulations. (b) A snow and ice control shift may be ordered by the Municipal Services Manager or his/her designee when, in his opinion, snow or ice is accumulating, has accumulated or is ex- pected to accumulate on the public streets at such depths or at such a rate that around-the-clock snow or ice control operations are necessary until the public streets are clear and the period of accumulation is ended. (c)The City shall not use or call snow and ice control shifts for the purpose of avoiding or circumventing payment for overtime. (d) Three lists of employees shall be established with preference being determined by seniority, during the month of November to be designated A, B and FM shifts for the purposes of snow and ice control shifts and ordinary snow and ice control overtime. Employees of like posi- tions on the A and B lists shall be allowed to trade positions on said lists during the year subject to the approval of the Department Director, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. (e) For purposes of snow and ice control, the following two shifts are recognized: 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., and 11:00 p.m. to 11:00 a.m. The first shift of employees called to duty for a snow and ice control shift, whether it be the 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. shift or the 11:00 p.m. to 11:00 a.m. shift, shall be given the opportunity to work all regularly scheduled hours during the duty day on which the snow and ice control shift was worked as well as the hours required for the snow and ice control shift. (f) If the snow and ice control shifts have been canceled prior to or during the second shift of employees called to duty during the first 24 hours of said shifts, whether it be the 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. shift or the 11:00 p.m. to 11:00 a,m. shift, said second shift of employees shall work a minimum of eight hours and be given the opportunity to work no more than twelve hours. On the last snow and ice control shift, the employee may request to leave after eight (8) hours. Permis- sion shall be granted based on operational necessity. (g) Employees may be called to report to duty for a snow and ice control shift within two hours of the regularly scheduled starting time of said shift. Employees may be held over for up to two hours at the end of a snow and ice control shift if the snow and ice control shifts have been canceled prior to the end of such shift but additional snow and ice control is needed or desired. (h) Employees shall be called for voluntary or emergency snow and ice control overtime, as opposed to snow and ice control shifts, in the order of seniority as they appear on lists A and B established herein according to the time during which the necessity for reporting for overtime duty arises. The City may call an employee to report to duty for voluntary or emergency snow and ice control overtime within two hours of the regularly scheduled starting time of the A or B list to which such employee belongs. The City may not work any employee in excess of two hours beyond the regular quitting time of said employee's A or B list. 6
