PAP.9.4.170 Unscheduled Work Shift and Reporting Work-Time

There may be times when a team member may be called upon to fulfill unscheduled work shifts of short duration. However, when a non-exempt team member is called in for unscheduled work, the team member shall be paid a minimum of three hours, whether the team member is at work the entire three hours or not. Further, when a non-exempt team member is called in or scheduled for a mandatory meeting, that team member must be paid for actual time spent at such a meeting.

(a) The normal workweek is Monday through Sunday beginning and ending at midnight on Sunday, and consisting of forty hours. The normal workday will consist of eight working hours with a one-half hour meal break period and two fifteen minute rest breaks which are paid and considered as time worked when taken on Casino premise.

(b) The schedule of hours for team member(s) will be determined by the department Director/Manager, and they will inform team members of their schedule of hours to be worked, including lunch periods, breaks, and of any changes deemed necessary or desirable.

(c) The Director/Manager may schedule overtime or extra shifts when it is deemed necessary. Supervisors, with managerial approval, will assign overtime to team member(s) in the particular job for which overtime is required. Team member(s) are not permitted to work overtime without the prior approval of their Director, Manager or Supervisor. For overtime compensation, only actual hours worked in excess of forty hours during a workweek will be credited.

(d) Team member(s) attendance at meetings and training programs will be considered hours of work if such attendance is requested and approved by management.
