PE - Penalty Day Claim

                     PE - Penalty Day claim is a catch all claim when there are no available claims that cover your situation, 

                                           or the current ones just don't fit.  Always claim 8 hour pay and when filling out the remarks 

                                           section put in as complete information you can to explain the claim.  Try and use dates, times,

                                           engine numbers if available, and names of anyone involved so PAYROLL can look it up.

                      Try and Call NS PAYROLL at 800-624-4193 before it get denied so that you can verbally talk to them, sometimes

                                          this helps on getting it paid. 

 When all else fail print out the claim and let your prepresentative prosess the claim !!

                                            Note:           This refers to Article VIII - Road, yard and Incidental work - of the Agreement of 

                                                                                this date.

                                                                  This confirms the understanding that the provision in Section 3 thereof, concerning                                                                                      incidental work, are intended to remove existing restrictions upon the use of

                                                                    and to remove any existing requirements that such employees, if used to perform

                                                                    the work, be paid an arbitrary or penalty amount over and above the normal

                                                                    compensation for their assignment.  Such provisions are not intended to infringe

                                                                    upon the work rights of another craft as established on any railroad.

                                                                   It is further understood that paragraphs 2(a) and 2(c) of Section 3 (incidental work)

                                                                   do not contemplate that the engineer will perform such incidental work when other

                                                                   members of the crew are present and available.
