Things You Should Know


PAY SHORTAGES - Under present operating conditions, when an employee discovers a
pay shortage of one hour or more, they may request payment of such shortage thru
their Process Coach. Such shortage claim will be paid Thursday (4X 10 schedule),
Friday (5 x 8 schedule) or regular payday (AWS schedules) of the week it was
reported. If the shortage is a day's pay or more, the employee may

request that a separate check be issued from Corporate Payroll.

The Process Coach will provide a print screen of the H308 to the employee within
two days after the employee submits their written request for an excused day
off. In the event an employee does not receive payment, a special check will be
issued if requested by the employee.

It is the primary responsibility of the section Process Coach to properly pay,
code and assign hourly personnel. The Daily Report of Time (DROT) is to be
posted in the immediate work area by the section Process Coach within the first
two (2.0) hours of the Crew/Shift. Once the Daily Report of Time is posted, each
employee is responsible to review the Daily Report of Time and notify the
section Process Coach of any discrepancies. DROT’s will remain posted until
the first day of the next pay period on all Crews/Shifts. In the event of an
error, the section Process Coach is to make a correction as expeditiously as
possible.

In order to correct future pay shortages and posting deficiencies, the Company
will maintain statistics on pay shortages and posting of Daily Report of Time
(DROT) complaints by a section Process Coach. Corrective payroll input training
will be provided to the section Process Coach experiencing greater than normal
pay shortages and coding errors.



PAID PLANNED DAY OFF PROCESS - (per Local Agreement pg. 37) Every Process Coach
will have a calendar on which he/she will denote any requests which they
received from their hourly employees to be off during a scheduled workday.
Requests for days off will not be accepted less than at least one week in
advance but no more than 30 days of the requested day off and will only be
accepted during any full crew/shift to be worked during this 30-day period.
(e.g., the earliest opportunity an employee could request time off would be the
beginning of the first full crew/shift within the 30-day period prior to the day
off requested). Days off must be requested in writing and will be handled on a
first come basis. However, in the event multiple requests are received within
the same crew/shift for the same day off, seniority will be the daily tiebreaker
in granting paid excused absence request (s). The Process Coach will write the
employee's name on the calendar, on the date the employee desires to be off from
work. At the same time, employee form (Employee Request for Planned Day Off With
Pay) will be processed. Failure to respond to the employee's written request,
more than two scheduled working days after the request is made, will
automatically excuse the employee's absence.
