Common use of Minimum Overtime Response Clause in Contracts

Minimum Overtime Response. This Policy applies to anyone subject to emergency response. Minimum Acceptance/Eligibility: 1. Employees are expected to accept and respond to as many opportunities as practical but at a minimum of 10% of the total callout overtime opportunities offered. Employees who take a truck home are expected to accept and respond to as many opportunities as practical but at a minimum of 15% of the total callout overtime opportunities offered. 2. Employees who fail to meet the requirements in number one (1) above during the review period will be required to accept a minimum of 20% (25% if they take a truck home) for future review periods until they reach compliance with the higher percentage. 3. Employees who have received a minimum of ten (10) callout overtime opportunities during the agreed-upon six (6) month review period will be held to the Minimum Callout Overtime Response Policy. 4. When employees are headquartered out of a specific department, emergency overtime request calls to the employees remaining in the department that are not accepted will not be counted in calculating the employee's acceptance rates. However, calls that are accepted will be counted toward the employee's acceptance rate. 5. Upon mutual agreement when the available pool of employees responding to emergency calls is drastically reduced the Company may suspend the minimum callout policy for the affected department(s) until the extenuating circumstances cease to exist.
