Compensation When Deployed to a Closed Satellite Camp. A closed satellite camp means an employee is unable to leave at the end of a work shift. When deployed to a closed satellite camp, employees will be considered on twenty-four (24) hour duty. Pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), bona fide meal periods and a bona fide scheduled sleeping period of up to eight (8) hours are excluded from paid time. When employees are deployed to a closed satellite camp the agency will provide specific items after a twenty-four (24) hour grace period, which commences when the incident command team initially deploys staff to the closed satellite camp. The provisions are a hot catered meal (hot can or Alaska fresh food box), adequate sleeping facilities (this means a sleeping bag and tent), and a sleep period of at least five (5) hours that is not interrupted to perform fire duties. Should the agency not provide these provisions in a closed satellite camp, the employee will be entitled to twenty-four (24) hour pay without excluding bona fide meal or sleep periods until the agency meets its obligation.
