During an Incident Clause Samples
The 'During an Incident' clause outlines the procedures and responsibilities that parties must follow when a specific incident, such as a security breach or operational disruption, occurs. Typically, this clause details immediate actions like notification requirements, containment measures, and ongoing communication protocols between the involved parties. Its core practical function is to ensure a coordinated and effective response to incidents, minimizing potential damage and clarifying each party's obligations during critical situations.
During an Incident. 5.2.1 During an incident, and except during a prescribed emergency period, an employee shall be given a minimum rest period of eight (8) consecutive hours from incident duties between two (2) consecutive shifts. In the event of the employee not receiving such a rest period, the employee must be paid at the rate of double time upon the resumption of incident duties until such time as a rest period of eight (8) consecutive hours is granted, irrespective if the shift occurs over different days.

5.2.5 The location of this rest break will be determined by the Incident Controller and may not necessarily be at the employee’s home. All costs associated with a rest period away from the employee’s home will be borne by the employer.
5.2.6 If employees are unable to return home between consecutive deployments and a portion of the required forty-eight (48) hour rest period falls on a Saturday or Sunday, employees will be paid for ordinary hours at normal rate of pay at ordinary time.
5.2.7 If employees are able to return home, any portion of the rest period falling on a Saturday or Sunday will be unpaid.
