A. REGULARLY ASSIGNED MEN

Except when changing off where it is the practice to work alternately days and nights for certain periods, working through two shift to change off, or where exercising seniority rights from one assignment to another, all time worked in excess of 8 hours' continuous service in a twenty-four hour period shall be paid for as overtime, on the minute basis, at one and one-half times the hourly rate, according to class of engine.

This rule applies only to service paid on the hourly or daily basis and not to service paid on mileage or road basis.

B. EXTRA MEN

Except as indicated below or when changing off where it is the practice to work alternately days and nights for certain periods, working through two shifts to change off, or where exercising seniority rights, all time worked in excess of eight hours continuous service in a twenty-four hour period shall be paid for as overtime on a minute basis at one and one-half times the hourly rate.

In application of this rule, the following shall govern:

1. This rule applies only to service paid on an hourly or daily basis and not to service paid on mileage or road basis.

2. A tour of duty in road service shall not be used to require payment of such overtime rate in yard service.  (The term "road service" as used in this paragraph (2), shall not apply to employees paid road rates, but governed by yard rules.)

3. Where an extra engineer man commences work on a second shift in a twenty-four hour period he shall be paid at time and one-half for such second shift except when it is started twenty-two and one-half to twenty-four hours from the starting time of the first shift.

4. An extra man changing to a regular assignment or a regularly assigned man reverting to the extra list shall be paid at the pro rata rate for the first eight hours of work following such change.

5. Except as modified by other provisions of this rule, an extra employee working one shift in one grade of service and a second shift in another grade of service shall be paid time and one-half for the second shift, the same as though both shifts were in the same grade of service, except where there is another man available to perform the work at pro rata rate.

NOTE 1:  On districts where a seniority board is in effect the rule shall include a provision that in cases where there is a man or men on the board available for work at the pro rata rate, a senior man who exercises his seniority to work two shifts, the second of which would otherwise, under the provisions of this rule, be paid at the overtime rate, shall be paid at the pro rata rate.

NOTE 2:  This rule shall not affect existing rule in the schedule relating to service performed on a succeeding trick when an employee's relief fails to report at the fixed starting time.
