Which article governs extra duty rates and assignments for unit members?

• A. Article 26
• B. Article 25
• C. Article 27
• D. Article 28

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is how overtime and extra duties are managed within the contract. The article that governs extra duty rates and assignments lays out how pay for these additional shifts is calculated and the process by which unit members are assigned to them. This typically includes who is eligible, how rates are set, and the procedures for requesting or bidding on extra duty, as well as how supervisors approve or assign these duties. In other words, it directly covers both the compensation for extra duty and the method for distributing those assignments, which is exactly what the question asks about. The other articles address different topics within working conditions, leave, or benefits and do not specify the rules for extra duty pay and assignments.
