law by a court of competent jurisdiction from whose final judgment or decree no appeal has been <br />taken within the time provided, such provision shall be void. All other provisions of this <br />AGREEMENT shall continue in full force and effect. The voided provision may be renegotiated <br />at the request of either party. <br />ARTICLE VIII — WORK SCHEDULES <br />8.1 The EMPLOYER has the sole authority in the preparation of work schedules. The normal <br />work day for an employee shall be eight (8) hours. The normal work week shall be forty <br />(40) hours. <br />8.2 Service to the public may require the establishment of regular shifts for some employees <br />on a daily, weekly, seasonal, or annual basis other than the normal work day or week. The <br />EMPLOYER shall give at least two (2) working days advance notice to the employees <br />affected by the establishment of work days different from the employee's normal work day <br />or week. The EMPLOYER will first ask for volunteers to staff these changes to the normal <br />work week or day. If there are not enough volunteers to fill the shift change, the <br />EMPLOYER will assign personnel to fill the shift based on seniority. Those employees <br />with the least seniority will be assigned first until all shifts are assigned. <br />8.3 The employees shall be allowed one coffee break in the morning of thirty (30) minutes in <br />duration inclusive of driving time to and from the Public Works building if required, and <br />no coffee break in the afternoon. They shall be allowed a lunch period of thirty (30) <br />minutes for which they will receive no pay. <br />The thirty (30) minutes unpaid lunch break will exclude driving time to and from the work <br />site to the City garage. This driving time will be limited to driving to and from the City <br />garage and the work site(s); interim stops will not be permitted. <br />It is understood that the EMPLOYER or designated representative may require that the <br />thirty (30) minutes unpaid lunch break be taken at the work site when warranted for <br />reasons of business necessity. <br />8.4 In the event that work is required because of unusual circumstances such as (but not <br />limited to) fire, flood, snow, sleet, or breakdown of municipal equipment or facilities, no <br />advance notice need be given. It is not required that an employee working other than the <br />normal work day be scheduled to work more than eight (8) hours; however, each employee <br />has an obligation to work overtime or call backs if requested unless unusual circumstances <br />prevent the employee from so working. <br />8.5 Service to the public may require the establishment of regular work weeks that schedule <br />work on Saturdays and/or Sundays. <br />8.6 No involuntary time off without pay (temporary lay-off) will be implemented for regular <br />employees while temporary or part-time employees are on the payroll, with the exception of <br />the employee doing janitorial work at City Hall and the "On the Job Training" students. <br />
