EARLY STARTS Clause Samples

The Early Starts clause allows a contractor or party to begin work on a project or specific tasks before the formal contract is fully executed or all conditions precedent are met. In practice, this clause typically outlines the scope of work permitted during the early start period, any limitations on costs or activities, and the terms under which the early work is authorized. Its core function is to prevent project delays by enabling critical work to commence while final contract negotiations or approvals are still pending, thereby helping to keep the overall project timeline on track.
EARLY STARTS. If due to Project requirements, when an early start (from at or after 4.00am to commencement of the Usual Working Day) is required, an Employee will be paid for overtime at overtime rates up to the commencement of the Usual Working Day when Ordinary Hours will commence in accordance with clause 27.1(c) above.
EARLY STARTS. The working day may start at 5.00 a.m. or at any other time between that hour and 8.00
EARLY STARTS. When a musician is required to travel by air on a day of work, an early start payment will be made, dependent on the time at which the musician is required to check in, as follows: Check in (60mins before flight) between 07:30-08:30 £5.90 07:00-07:29 £8.85 06:30-06:59 £11.80 06:00-06:29 £14.75 Where the musician is required to check in before 06:00, the early call payment shall be replaced by an overnight stay payment of £63.10.
EARLY STARTS. Any Employee who is called in before their regular starting time, either core hours or shift hours, shall be granted the opportunity of working out their regular day’s schedule. If this results in overtime for the week, it will be handled in accordance with the provisions of Article 13.
EARLY STARTS. (a) When an early start is needed, the Company shall ask Employees/Dependent Contractors in seniority order if they are interested in starting their shift early. If the Employee/Dependent Contractor agrees, then this early start will be the commencement of the Employee's/dependent contractor's shift for that day. Overtime will be payable once the Employee has worked more than eight (8) hours. (b) When the Company requires Employees to start their shift early, (after the Employer has gone by seniority and asked all available Employees/Dependent Contractors if they would volunteer) one (1) additional hour of overtime will be paid over and above the regular hours worked and any other overtime worked by Employees only.
EARLY STARTS. Where, on occasion, an official early start is required, no extra payment shall apply, but the normal finishing time after which overtime rates shall apply shall be brought back “pro rata”. The early start in this context is limited to an hour before normal working time.
EARLY STARTS. If an employee is required to start a shift prior to 4:00 a.m., the employee shall be compensated at one and one-half (1 ½) times the employee's regular hourly rate of pay for all hours worked from the starting time to the normal start time.
EARLY STARTS. Where an employee is required to commence their ordinary hours of work at 5am on a non- permanent basis, it will be regarded as an early start. Payment for an early start shall be time and one half from 5am to 6am (being the time worked outside the span of ordinary daily hours as specified by clause 34 of this Agreement) with the remainder of ordinary hours paid at single time rates. Where an employee who commences their day at 5am is required to work overtime, the period between 5am and 6am will constitute the first hour of overtime. Provided that any employee may, in the event of a demonstrated personal need and for a limited time only, request in writing that their ordinary daily hours commence at 5am at single time rates. Details of such requests shall be retained by the employer.
EARLY STARTS. With the exception of the cleaner taking over from the Plant Operator Mall Cleaner the normal starting time will be 5.30am.
EARLY STARTS. Notwithstanding the above, a full-time employee (or a casual who works at least 38 hours in the week), may commence prior to 6am (5am in the case of a Driver/General Hand) on one day each week and that work not be considered shift work. To avoid doubt, hours worked prior to that time would be treated as additional hours.
