A few months ago we informed the membership that Local 1014 and the Department have been working to resolve a disagreement we have with the current overtime policy.  Both sides have suggested various modifications, and we thought we were close to resolution once, but so far we've not been able to come to agreement.  When we’ve brought this issue to a resolution there may be modifications to the current policy or perhaps there will just be clarifications.  At this point no one can say for sure, because we’re still working on it.

In the meantime, we’ve been receiving calls from some members asking us where we are with the overtime cap and working 5 days in a row.  To clarify for everyone:  At present there is no change in either policy.  You may work up to 5 days in a row, and there is an overtime cap of 68 shifts per fiscal year. 

We’ll let you know when there are further developments, but as we've stated before, a change in policy on this issue will go into effect only if and when the Department officially announces it.
