4 (3) A break of at. least eight hours should be allowed between work periods, including shift turnover time.
(4) Except during extended shutdown periods, the use of overtime should be considered on an individual basis and not for the entire staff on a shift.
Any deviation from the above guidelines shall be authorized by the General Manager-Plant Hatch or his deputy of higher levels of l
management, in accordance with established procedures and with documentation of the basis for granting the deviation.
Controls shall be included in the procedures such that individual overtine shall be reviewed monthly by the General Manager-Plant Hatch or his l
designee tio assure that excessive hours have not been assigned.
