Step-Ups

Your Claims:
  • Vacancies caused by absence of regularly assigned conductors are to be covered by the protecting conductor extra boards.
  • If stepped up, the proper penalty is for 65 miles and the difference in earnings from your regular assignment if you miss it as a result of stepping up. In most instances the 65 mile part of the claim is available on the available claims portion of the tie-up screen.
  • If you are the senior available bidder to the conductor’s extra board and CMS chooses to step crews up instead of adding you to the board, you are entitled to a basic day penalty for each time a crew is stepped up.

Documentation:
  • Call sheet or job history showing job called for.
  • Information from your regular assignment (the board and turn #, who worked it, etc)
  • If senior bidder and not picked up for extra board, you must print a copy of the permanent bid list showing you as senior bidder, as soon as you notice crews have been stepped up.
  • snap shots showing all crews stepped up

    CLAIM FORM


    EXAMPLE CLAIM:  

    Was called off (circ-7 and board ID)  pool  @          hrs to work the (irregular job called for). Claim 65 mile penalty and make whole payment for the difference in earnings that my regular assignment, the (regular assignment circ and ID), made. My regular assignment was called on duty at          hrs and  tied-up back in home terminal at            hrs.

    Example Claim if you had an Extra Board Bid in place:

    Was senior bidder and available for (circ-7 and extra board ID)  board on (date) at         hrs when Conductor (Name) was stepped-up from his regular turn for the  (Job/train stepped up to). According to item 43d of the conductors extra board agreement in force, I should have been used to cover such vacancy before other crews were used on an irregular assignment.
