Editing Questions You Didn't Know to Ask (section)

==== ODL ====
The ODL or Overtime Desired List is a list of all employees on a tour that would like to work overtime if it is called. The signup sheets for the ODL are usually posted two weeks prior to the start of the next quarter. The ODL follows the employee until they sign themselves off the ODL. For example if you signup for the ODL while working on tour 3 and then move to tour 1 you will still be on the ODL. Therefore it is false when management says you must re-signup for the ODL each quarter. 
To remove yourself from the ODL you write a brief statement that you wish to be removed from the ODL. You turn this statement into your union shop steward.
</p><p>If you are ODL but don't want to do overtime that particular night you can be by-passed. This is applicable outside of PEAK season, the month of December. To be by-passed, write a statement before the ODL call of the day and turn it into the shop steward.
===== ODL Bypass =====
The term ODL Bypass is when an overtime call is made late in the shift when half of the tour has already clocked out. This late call cheats the earlier tour crew that are on the ODL from the overtime being offered. This is a grievance offense.
