The first file on the paid inspection hour began with shift totals, inspection cards and payroll adjustment slips. The city then checked the source, heard affected residents and sent a second office to repeat the count.
The current Year fourth, smelt run window 2 file records 64 inspection minutes included in paid time; the previous window records 63. The longer sequence makes the change visible, while each count remains tied to its own dates.
A turning point was the observation that the safety card is completed before the payroll clock begins. It narrowed the discussion from a general claim to a question about how the rule works at the site.
The mill counts production hours. Workers say a required safety check is still work even when it precedes the first charge. The shared record is larger than it was at the start, although the parties still assign it different weight.
Anew work docket opens with a named machine, shift and measure. The Year fourth, smelt run window 2 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The board will compare card times with payroll start marks for one trial period.
