we·mutually agreed that there was no interpretive dispute between the parties at the national level as to the meaning and intent of Article 8 of the 1981 National Agreement as it relates to an application of the 5-minute leeway rule. On the day in question, local management required the grievant to begin tour in a work location approximately 50 yards from where he usually works. He contends the time involved should be compensable as out-of-schedule premium. It is our understanding that the 5-minute leeway provisions of Part 432.461, of the Employee and Labor Relations Manual, are applicable in such situations. Accordingly, as further agreed, this case is hereby remanded to Step 3 for further processing by the parties at that level.
