A . An Appointing Authority may place employees on standby duty. Standby duty refers to a situation where an off duty employee holds him/herself available to report to the assigned site for immediate response as directed by management and in accordance with department policy. No employee shall be paid for standby duty time and other compensable duty time simultaneously. Employees placed on standby duty shall be paid Two Dollars Fifty-Five Cents ($2.55) per hour while on standby duty. Holidays shall be compensable for standby duty. Standby duty status and compensation shall cease when the employee is called by telephone or actually reports to the work site for duty. A minimum of one (1) hour of "on duty" pay shall be paid when an employee on standby status is called by telephone or is called in to work. The intent of the parties is to compensate employees for a minimum of one hour, or time actually worked, whichever is greater. It is not the intent that an employee receive a minimum of one hour for each short telephone call received. Eg. It is not the intent that an employee gets eight separate one-minute telephone calls and is paid eight separate one hour minimums, for a total of eight hours pay. Any worker called by telephone or called out while on standby shall receive a minimum of one (1) hour pay. The intent of the parties is to compensate employees for a minimum of one hour, or time actually worked, whichever is greater. For example, i f an employee receives calls at 1:00 p.m., 1:15 p.m., 1:20 p.m., 1:55 p.m. and the last call finishes at 2:10 p.m., s/he is credited for one hour and ten minutes, which under the County's Payroll Time and Leave Reporting policy, would round to one hour and fifteen minutes. And, i f an employee receives calls at 1:00 p.m., 1:15 p.m., 1:20 p.m. and 1:45 p.m., s/he is paid for one hour, not four hours. It is not the intent that employees be paid for multiple telephone calls received within a one hour period.
