AVAILABLE. (a) Available‖ is defined as a requirement that an employee, during off-duty hours, leave word at home or with the employer where the employee may be reached. Such employee is not subject to any other restriction specified under Sections 1 or 2 and is neither ―on call‖ nor on ―standby‖ and shall not receive additional compensation therefore. (b) Any employee who is requested by the State to be on Available Status shall not be restricted in his/her movements within any geographic radius of his/her workplace, nor suffer any other restriction beyond leaving word at home or with the employer where s/he may be reached. (c) If determined by the State that it must activate an employee on Available Status for duty, such duty shall be appropriately compensated under the terms of this Agreement and shall be considered to be ―overtime work‖ for equitable distribution of overtime purposes. (d) An employee who is asked to be on Available Status shall be entitled to exclude himself/herself from overtime consideration in accordance with the Overtime Article, Section 2(c).
