The thirty (30) minutes unpaid lunch break will exclude driving time to and from the work site to the City garage. This driving time will be limited to driving to and from the City garage and the work site(s); interim stops will not be permitted. It is understood that the EMPLOYER or designated representative may require that the thirty (30) minutes unpaid lunch break be taken at the work site when warranted for reasons of business necessity. 8.4 In the event that work is required because of unusual circumstances such as (but not limited to) fire, flood, snow, sleet, or breakdown of municipal equipment or facilities, no advance notice need be given. It is not required that an employee working other than the normal work day be scheduled to work more than eight (8) hours; however, each employee has an obligation to work overtime or call backs if requested unless unusual circumstances prevent the employee from so working. 8.5 Service to the public may require the establishment of regular work weeks that schedule work on Saturdays and/or Sundays. 8.6 No involuntary time off without pay (temporary lay-off) will be implemented for regular employees while temporary or part-time employees are on the payroll, with the exception of the employee doing janitorial work at City Hall and the "On the Job Training" students. 8.7 In the event that the EMPLOYER initiates a temporary interruption in employment the EMPLOYER may provide employees in the affected unit an opportunity to voluntarily request leaves of absence without pay. Such temporary interruptions in employment shall not be considered a lay-off. While on unpaid leave of absence due to temporary interruption in employment the employee will continue to accrue seniority.

All hours worked on an actual holiday will be compensated for at two (2) times the employee's regular base pay. (Refer to definitions found in Article VI, section 6.9) For purposes of this section, "hours worked" shall include hours designated as holiday, personal time off, or compensatory time -off. 9.3 At the discretion of the EMPLOYER, an employee may receive compensatory time off in lieu of overtime pay at the rate of one and one-half (1-1/ 2) times the employee's regular base pay or two (2) times the employee's regular base pay for hours worked on an actual holiday, or be paid for overtime worked. 9.4 Maximum compensatory time accumulated shall not exceed eighty (80) hours.
