Shift 2: Monday through Thursday, from 12:30 P.M. to 9:30 P.M. and Friday from 12:30 P.M. to 4:30 P.M. C.The above schedule assumes a 30 minute coffee break will be available pursuant to the Labor Agreement, but unpaid lunch will be taken before or after the shift to reduce contact time between employees at the request of the Local 49 members. 4. The two groups will alternate shifts on a two week rotation, with a change occurring on April 27, 2020 and continuing in two week increments. 5. Overtime pay would be due after 8 hours per day for Shift 1; after 9 hours per day for Shift 2 on Mondays through Thursdays; and after 4 hours per day for Shift 2 on Fridays. 6. An employee assigned to On-Call duty will receive one (1) hour of pay at one and one-half (1 1/2) times the employee's base pay rate when receiving a call outside of their scheduled shift if the call is received during the normal work day schedule for the other shift as outlined above. This compensation is provided for the On-Call employee to receive, review, and transmit the call to a working employee. Other calls received outside of normal work schedules for both shifts shall be in accordance with ARTICLE X of the Labor Agreement. Local 49 bargaining unit employees acknowledged that the City is responding to challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the provisions outlined above may remain in effect during the COVID-19 response as determined solely by the City, the above schedule may be suspended by the City at any time with two working days advance notice, and the City does not waive its sole authority in the change of work schedules pursuant to the Labor Agreement. Financial Impact Municipal public works services are identified as Critical Sector Work in accordance with the Governor's Emergency Executive Order 20-20. The temporary shift schedule outlined above has minimal impact to the overall budget for the Public Works Department while maintaining important community services, particularly compared to cities that have changed to minimum or partial staffing models. Council Direction 1. Should the Department continue to implement this temporary work schedule until further notice by the City Council, or is there suggested changes that should be considered?
