ARTICLE 26.
TIME SHEETS, TIME CLOCKS, VIDEO CAMERAS, AND COMPUTER TRACKING DEVICES

Section 1. Time Sheets and Time Clocks

In over-the-road or line operations, the Employer shall provide and require the employee to keep a time sheet or trip card showing the arrival and departure at terminal and intermediate stops and cause and duration of all delays, time spent loading and unloading, and same shall be turned in at the end of each trip.  In local cartage operations, a daily time record shall be maintained by the Employer at its place of business.  All Employers who employ five (5) or more people at any terminal shall have time clocks at such terminals.

Employees shall punch their own time cards.

The Employer shall maintain sign-in and sign-out records at terminals.  All road drivers must record their name, home domicile, origin, destination and arrival and/or departure times.  The Employer shall make available upon the written request of a Local Union information regarding the destination of loads and/or where loads were loaded within the time limits set forth in the grievance procedure.

The Employer may substitute updated time recording equipment for time cards and time sheets.  However, a paper trail shall be maintained.

The Employer may computerize the sign-in and sign-out records.  However, at all times, the Union shall have reasonable access to a paper record of the sign-in and sign-out records.

Section 2. Use of Video Cameras for Discipline and Discharge

The Employer may not use video cameras to discipline or discharge an employee for reasons other than theft of property or dishonesty.  If the information on the video tape is to be used to discipline or discharge an employee, the Employer must provide the Local Union, prior to the hearing, an opportunity to review the video tape used by the Employer to support the discipline or discharge.  Where a Supplement imposes more restrictive conditions upon use of video cameras for discipline or discharge, such restrictions shall prevail.

The Employer shall not install or use video cameras in areas of the Employer’s premises that violate the employee’s right to privacy such as in bathrooms or places where employees change clothing or provide drug or alcohol testing specimens.

Section 3.  Computer Tracking Devices

Computer tracking devices, commonly known as “Black Boxes”, mandated by regulations shall not be used for disciplinary purposes, except in those incidents of violations of Federal Mandated Regulations or when an employee has intentionally committed malicious damage to the Employer’s equipment or when an employee has unsafely operated the Employer’s commercial motor vehicles.
