Dings
- When a member takes a call, they will have a ding applied.
- The member will have their position on the out-of-work list pro-rated on an unlimited basis counting 5 days in a week.
- Once a member takes a job call, they will move down one spot per weekday until they reach the back of the out-of-work list. At that time, they will be removed from the out-of-work list, and their dings will be reset.
- After the third job call (third ding), upon their employment ending, they will sign the bottom of the out-of-work list.
- Any member may elect to sign the back of the out-of-work list (resetting their dings) at the time of the end of their employment.
