Common use of Assignment to Stand-By Duty Clause in Contracts

Assignment to Stand-By Duty. The determination of whether stand-by duty is necessary shall be made at the discretion of the Department Head, with the exception that Public Works agrees to provide an opportunity for stand-by duty assignments for including, but not limited to: (1) General Public Works, (2) Water/Wastewater, and (3) Well Rounds/SCADA. The parties agree the list for Water/Wastewater is not required to be established until the completion of the meet and confer process in Section 7.3 of this Article. When stand-by duty is necessary, the Department Head, or his/her designee, will establish a stand-by duty roster which shall be distributed to employees and posted. The roster shall first be populated by those employees who volunteer for such duty. However, if at any time there is an insufficient number of employees who volunteer for stand-by duty, the Department Head shall have the discretion to either (1) establish a mandatory stand-by duty list which all employees are required to participate in, unless the employee lives outside of the response time area, or (2) retain the services of a contractor to perform the services. The Department Head will give affected employees reasonable notice and an opportunity to volunteer before establishing a mandatory stand-by duty roster or before arranging for the work to be performed by a contractor.
