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.
