“Overtime” means an authorized period of work calculated to the nearest half hour and,

(a) performed on a scheduled working day in addition to the scheduled working period, and consisting of at least one-half (½) hour more than seven and one-quarter (7.25) hours or eight (8) hours or longer (as applicable); or

RPT4.2.3

Where an employee has completed their scheduled work period and left the workplace and is subsequently called in to work prior to their next scheduled working period such employee shall earn time and one-half (1½) of their basic hourly rate for hours worked, with a minimum of four (4) hours (1½ times 4 hours) credit to the CTB. For clarity, such premium payment will not be earned or credited for regularly scheduled hours.

Overtime shall be paid at the rate of two and one-half (2 1/2) times the hourly rate when an employee is required to report for any period of work on or during the vacation leave period, with a minimum payment of sixteen (16) hours.
