minimum of eight (8) hours between the completion of his assignments on
that day and their next regular report.
25.02 (a) Regular days off for spare operators will be posted at the time of
posting the board for a regular sign-up. Days off will be selected
and signed for by seniority and will prevail for the duration of the
sign-up concerned, excepting for changes for training purposes or
for compassionate reasons.
(b)
The City (HSR) may, at its discretion, conduct one (1) signup within
the board period covered by a regular sign-up to revise days off for
spare operators as selected in (a).
The City (HSR) will pay six (6) hours at City (HSR) rates in effect for Job
Group 10 and 10 (a) for the additional sign-up to revise days off for spare
operators.
25.03 Spare operators are guaranteed a minimum of seven (7) hours' pay daily
at their prevailing rates of pay for each regular day of work and forty (40)
hours' pay for each regular work week completed, provided that such
operators report for work at the time or times assigned to them. It is further
provided and agreed that all work obtained from the City (HSR)shall be
applied to offset this minimum earning guarantee in any pay period in
which it becomes necessary to apply this guarantee. In the event of lay-off
in excess of seven (7) days' duration commencing during a pay period, the
guarantee of pay shall be reduced to eight (8) hours' pay for each day
worked in the pay period in which the lay-off occurred.
If, however, in a pay period a spare operator fails once to report for work,
the pay guarantee is to be reduced by the equivalent of eight (8) hours at
straight time, but not more than eight (8) hours' reduction for any one (1)
day, in addition to any disciplinary penalty that may be imposed. If a spare
operator reports late, and subsequently in that day is given an
assignment, the guarantee loss will be offset up to the total of the eight (8)
hour reduction by the actual time worked on that day. Failure to report for
work more than twice in any pay period will relieve the City (HSR) of any
liability for a guarantee in respect of such pay period. However, this does
not apply to spare operators who have reported sick or are on leave of
absence, etc.
If a spare operator is off sick, or for any other reason, and has reported
same to the dispatcher or supervisor, the spare operator will lose the
equivalent of eight (8) hours at straight time from their guarantee for each
day that the operator is off. In any pay period in which there has been a
day on which a special holiday schedule was put into effect and for which
a special selection has been held and on which the operator was not
