Common use of Pager Time Clause in Contracts

Pager Time. “Pager time” is defined as the period of time a Fleet employee is required to be ready and available for work outside of his/her regular work hours. During the pager time, the Fleet employee shall be required to respond to work calls and shall be required to comply with the City’s Drug-Free Workplace & Anti-Drug and Alcohol policy. During the pager time, employees generally will be required to report to work within forty-five (45) minutes of the pager call. Fleet employees unable to report to work within forty-five (45) minutes, due to circumstances beyond their control, must communicate with their direct supervisor immediately; if the direct supervisor is unavailable, the Fleet employee must communicate with a Transit Supervisor. The City will maintain its voluntary system for standby. However, if there are no volunteers, management will be responsible to carry the pager if available. However, if management is unavailable, the City may require employees to be on standby on a rotational basis. Fleet employees assigned to carry the pager will be compensated one and one-half (1.5) hours of straight time for each twelve (12) hour period assigned. If Fleet employees carry the pager on a holiday as defined in Article 13.1, they will be compensated an additional four (4) hours of straight time. Fleet employees may trade pager assignments with another qualified Fleet employee. The Fleet employee initiating the trade must immediately notify the Fleet manager of the trade. No overtime shall be paid unless the employee is required to return to work.
