Employees are responsible for their paychecks upon receipt. Direct deposit is preferred but a check is available to employees upon request. 37. NIGHTWORK REST TIME The Utilities will provide a regular field worker with one hour paid rest time for each hour worked between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., excluding work performed during such window on Saturday or Sunday. The worker must make arrangements with his or her supervisor before taking such rest time. This nightwork rest time shall be taken during the next scheduled work shift. If the supervisor does not release the worker to take this nightwork rest time, all hours worked by the worker on the next scheduled shift shall be paid at one and one half times the worker's base rate of pay. It is the employee's responsibility to notify the supervisor and obtain approval prior to taking the rest time. It is also the employee's responsibility to take the nightwork rest time if it is approved by the supervisor. The employee's failure to take approved nightwork rest time shall result in forfeiture of such rest time. Nightwork rest time does not apply and is not paid in connection with travel or training time away from the regular workplace. 38.
