Section 4.(a) For the sole purpose of preventing favoritism or discrimination in the distribution of overtime, the Company will distribute overtime work equally among the qualified employees under the jurisdiction of each supervisor who are regularly employed on such work, insofar as it may be practicable to do so, so as to equalize, among such employees hours paid at time and one-half or double time (e.g., four [4] hours at time and one-half shall be the equivalent of three [3] hours at double time). Such overtime distribution shall be made on the respective shifts on which the overtime work occurs. There is no obligation on the part of the Company to distribute overtime equally between shifts nor between employees under the jurisdiction of different supervisors. Where it is mutually agreed between the Company and the Union other supervisory titles may be substituted for the supervisory title "supervisor" in this Section. (b) A grievance alleging failure of the Company to comply with subsection (a) above must show a substantial inequality in such overtime distribution during the 6-week period immediately preceding the filing of such grievance. Section 5. When two or more types of overtime or premium compensation are applicable to the same hours of work, only the higher rate of compensation shall be paid. In no case shall overtime or premium compensation be duplicated or pyramided. Section 6. It is understood there are certain assignments which benefit the Company and employees, such as, but not limited to: training which requires the employees to change his or her regularly scheduled shift; visiting customers, and accommodating an employee’s request for temporary adjustment of his or her regularly scheduled shift hours. In such cases, Section 1(a)1 of this Article will apply for purposes of any overtime pay.
