Ray's proposal for comment:
Create a schedule entry called Standby signified by an S. This would be different than Call. Anyone interested in transfers would place an S on the schedule for the time that they are available. They would be called in seniority order after the Call person refused. Should part time employees be given a preference by their seniority? Would like to hear from everyone about seniority alone or try to get part timers more hours.

With all of these policy changes happening, i am still seeing a problem with the procedure for calling in a crew for night time transfers.  I am not being called in for night time transfers, even when i am on call.  This has happened to me personally twice now.  I have lost $85 each time.  If i am the only one on call, isnt the crew on schedule supposed to find me a partner, not call in an entirely different crew?  I am the one sitting at home being paid and waiting on the call.  There is a procedure in writing on the proper way to handle night time call ins and it is in the folder that holds the schedule.  This either needs enforced or updated so that i dont get up and get dressed for another crew to take it.  I have notified the director numerous times of this issue, citing specific examples and that the seniority list is not being utilized during these times with no response.  Please take a look at this and remedy the situation as you feel is appropriate.  It seems redundant for the company to pay me to be available, then pay another crew overtime also.

I think this would be fair and would help the crew on shift spend less time on the phone, just call the first 2 on the list.  As far as calling part timers first, t hat was the previous policy, as it saves the company from paying so much overtime.  I feel it should be the policy that you call in the people that dont have 40 hrs first, but once it is going to have to pay overtime, it should be by seniority.
