COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT Between NEW YORK UNIVERSITY And LOCAL ONE
SECURITY OFFICERS UNION
July 1, 2001 - June 20, 2006
ARTICLE 5 - HOURS OF WORK
A. The regular work week shall consist of forty (40) hours divided into five
(5) days of eight hours each. For employees required to report for roll call,
their shift will be scheduled over 8 1/2 hours with a one half hour unpaid meal
break. The first fifteen (15) minutes of each shift will be used for the purpose
of a roll call. Employees will not be required to perform any duties during
the last fifteen (15) minutes of their shift, but will be permitted to return
to the locker room to change their clothes and return equipment. At any time
during said fifteen (15) minutes, Employees will be permitted to leave the premises,
but will be credited with the full fifteen (15) minutes. During the thirty (30)
minute unpaid meal break, the Employees may leave the premises or their post.
If the meal break is interrupted or diminished for the purpose of performing
duties at the Employer's request, the Employee shall be paid time and one half
for the entire thirty (30) minutes.
B. For employees who are not required to report for roll call, their shift
will be scheduled for a period of eight continuous hours. They will be relieved
for meal and rest periods, of at least thirty (30) minutes, in accordance with
past practice. If the meal break is interrupted or diminished for the purpose
of performing duties at the Employer's request, the Employee shall be paid time
and one-half for thirty (30) minutes.
C. Every Employee shall be entitled to two (2) consecutive days off in each
work week. Insofar as possible these days shall be Friday and Saturday or Saturday
and Sunday, or Sunday and Monday. (The Employer agrees to make every effort
to extend this provision to all employees as soon as possible in keeping with
normal operating requirements.)
D. Overtime shall be paid for at the rate of time and one-half for all hours
worked by the Employees covered by this Agreement in excess of eight (8) hours
per day and forty (40) hours per week. Paid sick leave and unpaid absences shall
not be considered as time worked for the purpose of computing overtime.
E. The hourly rates relating to all employees covered by this Agreement shall
be computed by dividing the wages received for the regular work week by forty
(40). No full-time Employee shall have his regular working hours reduced in
order to effect a corresponding reduction in pay.
F. Any Employee called in to work for any time not consecutive with his regular
schedule shall be guaranteed four (4) hours of work.
G. Except for emergencies or other exigencies, overtime work assignments will
be filled by requesting volunteers. If less volunteer than are needed or none
volunteer, assignments will be made in order of least seniority. Except for
emergencies or if all the bargaining unit employees have worked the limit (16
hours of mandatory overtime), employees will not be required to work more than
sixteen (16) hours of mandatory overtime per calendar week. If an employee has
worked the maximum number of hours permitted (16 hours of mandatory overtime),
the next employee with the least seniority will be assigned the mandatory overtime.
At its discretion, the Employer may assign the least senior on the particular
shift or the least senior in the bargaining unit from the available work force.
Employees on vacation, sick leave, bereavement leave, jury duty, and leave of
absence are not included in the available work force. The Employer will make
a good faith effort to assign mandatory overtime to employees who are already
on duty.

H. The Employer will make a good faith effort to distribute overtime in a fair
manner among volunteers and to equalize the opportunity to work overtime.
I. Employees must be in uniform at the commencement of roll call (i.e., 6:45
a.m., 2:45 p.m. and 10:45 p.m.). Employees will continue to receive the current
two minute grace period until their roll call is conducted at 7 Washington Place.
J. The following procedure shall be followed with regard to Security Officers
who are assigned overtime for the purpose of providing coverage for meal breaks.
If the Employer decides that overtime is necessary it will solicit volunteers.
However, if there are not a sufficient number, the Employer will assign the
remaining overtime. The overtime shall be consecutive with the Security Officer's
tour and scheduled as follows:
1. The required number of Security Officers on the first platoon (11 p.m.
to 7 a.m. shift) shall be assigned six hours of overtime to cover meal periods
from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
2. The required number of Security Officers on the second platoon (7 a.m.
to 3 p.m.) shall be assigned five and one half hours of overtime to cover
meal periods from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
3. The required number of Security Officers on the third platoon (3 p.m.
to 11 p.m. shift) shall be assigned six hours of overtime to cover meal periods
from 1:30 a.m. to 5 a.m. When Security Officers are not covering meal periods
during these overtime assignments, they will be assigned to perform other
usual Security Officer duties.
The Security Officers assigned this overtime will receive an $8.00 meal allowance
but will not get an additional meal break.
