Common use of DISPATCHED HCA HOURS Clause in Contracts

DISPATCHED HCA HOURS. Dispatched HCAs shall be paid on a regular, guaranteed hours basis to include mileage for travel from home to first client and travel from last client to home. Full-time dispatched HCAs shall be available for and paid for forty (40) hours per week, regardless of whether or not client hours are available during this time. Part-time dispatched HCAs who are assigned less than a full time schedule shall be available for and paid for the number of weekly hours they work on a dispatched assignment and regardless of whether or not client hours are available during this time. All dispatched HCAs shall be advised of their “on duty” schedule to include a daily start and end time. The Employer may require dispatched HCAs to wait by the phone at home, or to perform non-HCA duties at the Employer’s office, during hours for which the dispatched HCA is being paid.
