2. Distribution of overtime work for the immediately subsequent shift shall be as follows:
Overtime work shall first be offered to employees then on duty in the same class within or
among classes as determined by the Administrator in the work area who are capable of
performing the work available, by State Seniority. Should the senior employee choose not to
accept the overtime assignment, the next most senior employee shall be offered the overtime.
If no employee in the same class or classes as determined by the Administrator in the work
area who are capable of performing the work accepts the overtime assignment, the overtime
shall next be offered campus-wide to all employees then on duty in the same class or classes
as determined by the Administrator who are capable of performing the work available, by State
seniority.
If no employee then on duty in the same class or classes accepts the overtime assignment, the
overtime assignment shall next be offered to employees in the same class or classes as
determined by the Administrator who are capable of performing the work who are then off duty
by State seniority, and when feasible, who have indicated a desire in writing to work overtime.
After the Employer has attempted to contact all employees on the sign up list and there is still
overtime work available, before the least senior qualified employee is mandated to work the
overtime, the Employer shall attempt to contact employees who have indicated a desire to work
overtime for a specified unit, day or shift. The most senior qualified volunteer shall be given the
overtime assignment.
In the event all capable employees in the same class or classes as determined by the
Administrator decline the overtime work, the Administrator shall assign the overtime based
upon inverse order of State seniority, within or among class(es) as determined by the
Administrator, to employees capable of performing the work and assigned to the work area who
are then on duty. The assignment shall be rotated within each pay period beginning with the
least senior capable employee based on State seniority.
Those employees working as a "float" shall be considered to be in the work area to which they
are assigned to work at the time overtime is offered or assigned.
3. Distribution of overtime work for other than the immediately subsequent shift shall be as
follows:
Overtime work shall first be offered to employees within or among classes as determined by
the Administrator in the work area who are capable of performing the work by State seniority,
who have indicated a desire in writing to work overtime. Should the senior employee choose
not to accept the overtime assignment, the next most senior employee shall be offered the
overtime who has indicated a desire in writing to work overtime.
In the event all capable employees decline the overtime work, the Administrator shall assign
the overtime based upon inverse order of State seniority to a capable employee in the same
class or classes as determined by the Administrator and work area the assignment occurs.
The assignment shall be rotated within each pay period beginning with the least senior
department capable employee based on State seniority.
Each supervisor shall maintain a current seniority roster for his/her department.
The Administrator shall not be required to cut in on work in progress in order to comply with the
requirements of this section. In emergencies, notwithstanding the terms of this section, the

regardless of the overtime distribution.
