Definition of Standby. Standby is a condition of employment whereby employees are required and so designated by their Employing Authority to maintain themselves immediately available for extra services during a defined period outside of normal hours of work. Classified employees will be given priority when scheduling standby.
Definition of Standby. An employee who is assigned to be near at hand and ready to respond immediately to an emergency is on standby. Employee's assigned to standby are required to be immediately available by telephone (home or cell). Employees within specifically identified classifications shall be required to perform standby duty to receive and handle emergency work during those hours when their Department is closed. Standby duty shall be performed in addition to the employee's regular assignment. The Department will attempt to utilize volunteers to fill standby assignments, however, if there are no qualified volunteers, the Department reserves the right to make the required standby assignments.
Definition of Standby. Only after first seeking volunteers, an employee who is required during off-duty hours to remain “on call” on the County’s premises or elsewhere or under conditions so circumscribed that he/she/they cannot use the time effectively for his/her/their own purposes is working while “on-call.” Employees who are working while “on-call” are on “standby.” An employee who is not required to remain on the County’s premises or elsewhere and is merely required to leave word at his/her/their home or with County officials where he/she/they may be reached, or is merely required to be available via a communications device, is not working while “on-call” and shall not be considered on “standby.” This definition of “standby” is intended to be the same definition as “working while on-call” which is contained in 29 CFR ' 785.17 and to duplicate the definition of compensable standby (i.e., working while “on-call”) found in the Fair Labor Standards Act as it is presently interpreted.
Definition of Standby. An employee who is assigned to be near at hand and ready to respond immediately to an emergency is on standby. Employee's assigned to standby are required to be immediately available by telephone (home or cell).
Definition of Standby. The following changes will be effective the first full pay period following Board adoption:
Definition of Standby. Standby duty requires that an employee designated by the department head to be so assigned during off-duty hours, be ready to respond as soon as possible, be reachable by telephone or pager, be able to report to court within a specified period of time, and refrain from activities which might impair the employee's ability to perform assigned duties. Each such employee who is assigned to standby shall be paid at the rate of six dollars and twenty-five cents ($6.25) per hour five percent (5%) of the employee’s base hourly rate for each hour that the employee stands by on call. No employee shall be paid for standby duty and other compensable duty simultaneously.
