Equa l ization wi l l be determined by comparing the overtime hours of an employee with the overtimehours of that employee i n the same department, class ification and shift who has the g reatest numberof overtime hou rs .

Where the difference between their overtime hours exceeds 1 5 then the amount by which the i rd ifference exceeds 1 5 wi l l be a l l that is paid to the employee being equa l ized .
