ARTICLE 23 - STANDBY PAY

 

Section 1.  On any duty or non-duty day, an employee who has been instructed to remain on standby shall be paid one-half (1/2) the straight time hourly rate for each hour on standby up to a maximum of eight (8) hours of standby duty in any one (1) day.  A minimum payment of one (1) hour at straight time shall be paid for all standby assignments.  On a non-duty day on which an employee is required to stand by for eight (8) hours, the employee shall receive four (4) hours plus one (1) additional hour at straight time.

 

Section 2.  A "duty day" shall be defined as any day during which all or a majority of an eight (8) or ten (10) hour shift is worked between the hours of 12:01 a.m. and 12:00 midnight of any given day.

 

Section 3.  A "non-duty day" shall be defined as any scheduled day off during a calendar week.

 

Section 4.  When an employee is summoned to return to work during the specified standby hours, standby pay shall not be paid. Overtime pay at one and one-half (1-1/2) times the straight time rate shall be paid for such hours worked outside of normal working hours.  However, the employee shall not receive less than three (3) hours overtime pay.

 

If an employee is required to stand by for a morning and afternoon assignment, the standby rate shall be paid from the beginning of the morning assignment until the end of the afternoon assignment.

 

Section 5.  If an employee on standby status cannot be reached or fails to report to work as directed, standby pay shall not be paid, and the employee shall be subject to appropriate disciplinary action.
