Voluntary Overtime
If you volunteer to work overtime there are 2 ways to qualify for overtime pay.
- Daily Qualifier: To be eligible for overtime pay on your regularly scheduled work day you must work 8hrs. The first 4hrs of voluntary ot you pick up after meeting the 8hr qualifier is paid at 1.5 x your pay and any subsequent hours are paid at 2x your pay. If you are an 8hr shift and you swapped off your first 2 hours and then work 6 hours of voluntary overtime the first 2hrs of that voluntary overtime will be paid at straight pay to meet the 8hr qualifier, and then the 4 hours left will be paid at 1.5x your pay. Articles 7.G.1, 7.G.2, and 7.G.3
- Weekly Qualifier: To be eligible for overtime pay on your day off, you must work 40hrs at straight pay. The first 8hrs of voluntary overtime on your day off is paid at 1.5 x your pay and any subsequent hours are paid at 2 x your pay. If you only worked 36hrs during your regular work week and pick up 6hrs of voluntary overtime on your day off, the first 4hrs will be paid at straight pay to satisfy the 40hr weekly requirement and the last 2hrs will be paid at 1.5 x your pay.

Mandatory Overtime
- If you have fully swapped off your shift you are not subject to mando. - Article 7.G

-If you have extenuating circumstances preventing you from working the mando hours concurrent with your shift, reach out to workforce and they will determine based on guidelines provided to them from their managers if the extenuating circumstance will allow the move. They have made it clear they do not plan to move mando to the end of the mando period and are not required to move the hours. Article 7.L.3.b
If you have extenuating circumstances not honored please email the information and request to [email protected]
- You can add your overtime hours prior to mando being issued and would not be subject to the additional hours nor the concurrent to schedule requirement. These hours must match the hours required in the mandatory overtime email. Keep in mind to be eligible for mando double time pay for days 2+ the hours have to be coded as mando (MADD) in aspect. Signing up voluntarily will make you ineligible.

- The company is required to provide 1 hour notice for mando. If the one hour notice falls at the end of your shift you are not subject to mando. If hours are added, call workforce to remove them. Example: mando notice comes out at 1:30pm and you are off at 2:00 pm. You did not get an hour notice so you are not subject to mando. Article 7.L.2
-You will not receive an individual notice of mando. The email sent to everyone is your notice. If you are subject to mando per the contract and it is not loaded you are still required to work the hours. They will be added later. Article 7.L.2
