[QUOTE="Jackburton, post: 1782967, member: 34538"] That's for time off after 8 hours. What you're looking for is Article 63. You must request the day off 5 days (calendar days, one of the few times isn't not business) prior to the actual day in order to be considered for approval. Another change is that a minimum 10% of people shall be allowed to have 8 hr requests in a particular day. Article 63 (Southern Supplement) The Employer shall continue its efforts to reduce overtime where requested. If the review does not indicate that the progress is being made in the reduction of assigned hours of work, the following language shall apply: (A) It is the policy of the Employer to cooperate with a package car driver who desires to be relieved of overtime, subject to the understanding that such package car driver will complete his/her assignment, and subject to the provisions below. An employee who desires to be relieved from overtime on a particular day must make a written request in writing on a form furnished by the Employer. Such a request must be submitted no later than the start of his/her shift on the fifth (5th) calendar day preceding the day being requested. A signed copy of the request form stating approval or disapproval shall be returned to the employee by the end of the employee’s next working day. Such requests shall be granted or denied in accordance with the terms of this sub-section. If a request is denied on the above referenced form, the employee shall receive a two (2) hour penalty payment at his/her straight time rate if the request should have been granted at this time based on the criteria set forth in this sub-section. This two (2) hour payment shall also apply if the Employer approves the requests and later informs the employee he/she cannot be relieved of overtime, provided the request continues to meet the criteria set forth in this sub-section. In addition, if an employee’s request is granted but the Employer fails to adjust the driver’s dispatch so as to provide an amount of work that can reasonably be completed within eight (8) hours which then causes the driver to work in excess of eight and one-half (8.5) hours to complete his/her route, the driver shall be entitled to a two (2) hour penalty payment at his/her straight time rate. No penalty shall be due if the employee exceeds the eight-and-one-half (8.5) hour threshold as a result of events beyond the Employer’s control. - 242 [/QUOTE]
