"worked on the first rest day of his work week, except that
emergency work paid for under the call rules will not be
counted as qaulifying service under this rule, nor will it
be paid for under the provisions hereof."
There is no disagreement between Carrier and the Organization that Claimant
worked all the hours of his work week, worked his first rest day September 12,
1970
and his second rest day September
13, 1970.
Also, the work performed by Claimant
was not work of an emergency nature. Carrier's contention being that the work performed by Claimant on his rest days was not part of his assignment.
Claimant held a five-day position with two assigned rest days in accordance
with Rule 2 of the controlling agreement. Rule
2
also provides for six and seven day
positions. In addition, Rule 2 provides for non-consecutive rest days, accumulation
of rest time or other suitable or practicable plans which may be suggested by either
of the parties.
Therefore, Carrier under Rule 2 is obligated to assign an employee two rest
days, either Saturday and Sunday, Sunday and Monday or other consecutive rest days.
If this does not meet their operating problem they may assign non-consecutive rest
days or accumulated rest time. In the instant case Claimant's assigned rest days
were Saturday and Sunday. The fact he worked at a location different from his fiveday position has no bearing on the case. He worked all of the hours in his work week
and worked his first and second assigned rest day, which was not an emergency. Therefore, under Article V, April 24, 1970 agreement, Claimant is entitled to double time
rate of pay for work performed on his second assigned rest day, Sunday, September 13,
1970.
