ARTICLE XIII ~ OVERTIME

Section 1. For purposes of this Agreement, overtime shall be defined as any time worked by an employee in
excess of seven (7) hours during a given day or thirty five (35) hours in any week or any hours worked on a sixth
(6th) or seventh (7th) day of the employee’s work week or on a day defined as a holiday by this Agreement. (See
also Appendix C, Understanding No. 11)

Section 2. An employee who works overtime hours shall be compensated for these hours at a rate of one and
one half (1 1/2) times the employee’s normal rate of pay. An employee who works a sixth (6th) day in their work
week shall be paid one and one half (1 1/2) times the normal rate of pay. An employee who works a seventh (7th)
day in their work week shall be paid double the normal rate of pay. An employee working on a holiday recognized
by this Agreement shall receive one and one half (1 1/2) times the normal rate of pay in addition to regular straight
time compensation for the day.

Section 3. An employee shall have the option of taking time off as compensation for overtime work for hours
worked between 35 and 40 hours per week or the hours worked on a holiday. This option of taking compensatory
time must have the approval of the employee’s immediate supervisor, be reduced to writing, and include the
number of hours of compensatory time. An employee may request to take this compensatory time within the next
three (3) months on the basis of three (3) working days’ notice to the employee’s immediate supervisor.
Such compensatory time off will be approved, provided such time off will not be seriously detrimental to the
operation of the department. The amount of compensatory time due an employee shall be equivalent to the rate of
pay to which the employee would have been entitled in overtime hours. Should Federal Law regarding the subject
of compensatory time be changed, this Section 3 shall be amended to conform to those changes. From time to
time the University may have special needs for which overtime will be offered that is not subject to the option of
taking time off as compensation. Employees will be notified in advance of such unscheduled overtime offers that
are not applicable to compensatory time.

Section 4. Overtime hours shall be offered to the employees in a working unit on a rotating basis starting with
the employee with the greatest working unit seniority, the offers being balanced over a period of one (1) year with
the exception noted in the next paragraph. If no employee accepts the offer, such hours shall be assigned by inverse
working unit seniority on a rotating basis except for the following situation.

Because of special responsibilities involved in certain overtime assignments, it may be necessary to limit the
offering or assignment of such overtime hours to specified job categories within a working unit, e.g., to the
Assistant Head of Stacks or the combined categories of Head of Stacks and Assistant Head of Stacks.
Section 5. The pay differentials specified in this Article shall not apply to situations in which an employee is
making up time.

Section 6. Any employee who accepts an overtime assignment on one of his/her regularly scheduled days off
and calls out sick the day before the assignment shall forfeit his/her right to work that overtime assignment.
