central time on regular business days.
- Applicants must be on the out-of-work list prior to signing
the Day Book.
- Applicants will be offered job calls in order of their
position on the out-of-work list, not their order on the Day
Book.
- NOTIFICATION OF JOBS AVAILABLE
- The referral office will post the next business day’s job
calls on the phone line each evening.
- Posting of job calls on the website is a courtesy to members
and the absence of website postings does not indicate an absence
of job calls.
- Employers are required to submit all requests by 4:15 PM in
order that they are posted overnight to inform applicants of the
next day’s calls.
- The referral agent will begin the job call process at 9:00
AM central time each business day.
- Applicants on the Day Book will be announced in order, at
the referral office, as they appear on the out-of-work list,
unless flagged for no calls.
- The referral process will begin each business day with Group
1, until that list is exhausted, then proceed to Groups 2, 3 and
4.
- Referral will cease when all calls are filled. · It is the
applicant’s responsibility to insure that they are on the Day
Book by 9:00 AM.
- Once the Day Book has been exhausted, the calls will be
available to those applicants who may arrive after 9:00 AM.
- The Business Manager may dispatch applicants at any time in
the event of an emergency.
ACCEPTING A JOB CALL
- An applicant shall indicate their acceptance or refusal of a
job offer upon having their name called by the referral agent.
- Refusal of non-specialty calls shall result in a recordable
refusal or “strike” on the applicant’s record.
- Three strikes will place the applicant at the back of the
list.
- A maximum of one strike may be recorded each day, regardless
of the total number of calls available that day.
- Upon acceptance of a job call, the applicant will report to
the Financial Office to pick up their referral.
- Once a call has been accepted, it may not be refused or
returned if such refusal would result in excluding another
member from a job opportunity.
- Return of a job call that results in damage to another
applicant will cause the offending applicant to lose their
position and the applicant will be required to sign the bottom
of the out-of-work list.
- When taking a “specialty call” which requires
certifications, the applicant will be required to present valid
certificates to the referral agent prior to being referred.
- Members should produce a paid-up dues receipt to pick up
their referral.
- After receiving the referral at the Financial Office, it is
the responsibility of the applicant to report at the proper
place and time as noted on the referral.
- If the potential employer rejects the applicant, the
applicant must return to the hall with their referral slip
marked “rejected” in order to regain their prior position on the
out-of-work list.
RETAINING LIST POSITION
SHORT-TERM CALLS
- An employer may place a short-term call for employment that
is to last for 14 calendar days or less with no limitation on
hours.
- Short-term calls will be offered to eligible applicants in
the same manner as regular calls.
- Eligibility for short-term calls is prioritized by first
being offered to applicants who have had no short-terms since
their last regular call, then one, two etc.
- Upon termination of a short-term call, the individual must
return a valid termination slip to the hall in order to be
eligible to receive calls again.
- Any termination for cause or a quit will result in the
applicant losing their position on the books and having to
resign.
FLAGGING FOR NO CALLS
- Applicants may “flag” their names for no calls in the event
that they are temporarily unavailable to take a referral.
- Flagging must be done by the applicant either in person or
over the phone. An IBEW card number or SSN is required to flag
or un-flag and may only be done by the applicant.
- While an applicant is flagged, the referral agent will not
offer a call and no strikes will be recorded.
TERMINATION FOR CAUSE
- Two terminations for cause within a twelve-month period will
result in an applicant being barred from signing the out-of-work
list until the issue can be heard by the neutral member of the
Appeals Committee.
- The neutral member shall have sole discretion concerning the
disposition of the applicant’s continued eligibility to sign the
out-of-work list.
WORK PERMITS
- Applicants who are not members of local 124 shall be
required to carry a validated work permit, issued by Local 124.
- Work permits shall be renewed monthly by your jobsite
steward, where present, or in person at the Hall.
