mark-off periods for employees assigned to pools at Bill, Wyoming and South Morrill,
Nebraska, and the extra boards at Bill, WY and South Morrill, Nebraska.
(1) Employees requesting to mark-off at the home terminal must
call the appropriate crew-caller and advise of the mark-off
period desired, either twelve (12) or twenty (24) hours.
Additional time off may be authorized in twelve (12) hour
increments. Employees receiving permission to mark-off will
be advised of the mark-off period authorized, and mark-up
will be pended at the expiration of the period authorized.
Except under emergency circumstances or sickness, there
will be no mark-offs at the away-from-home terminal.
(2) Guarantee offset provisions set forth in the 1983 Coal Line
Agreement at Art. IV, Sections 1(b) governing pool service
guarantees, and Art. IV, Section 2(b) governing extra board
