Stand-By Pay A. Definitions
1. “Stand-by status” is a condition of employment whereby an employee is designated by his/her department to be ready to be engaged in work. The employee must be in readiness to perform actual work when the need arises or when called. Employees on stand-by status are required to be available by telephone, radio, or pager when on stand-by.
2. “Stand-by pay” is the compensation paid to employees who are assigned to stand-by duty and who are required by their respective supervisors to remain available to report to work during and for a specified period of time beyond the employees’ assigned work period.
B. Employees designated by a supervisor to remain available for work in a stand-by status shall be compensated at an hourly rate of fifteen percent (15%) of their regular hourly rate.
C. An employee in authorized stand-by status must provide the Employer with a telephone number where the employee may be reached, or make himself or herself available and able to be contacted through a communication device (e.g. radio or pager).
D. Assignment to authorized stand-by status includes the following conditions:
1. The requirement must be definite and the employee must be officially notified by the supervisor to remain on stand-by status;
2. The requirement must be continuous until such time as the employee is actually per- forming work, reporting for a scheduled work period, or specifically relieved from stand-by status;
3. Supervisors placing an employee on stand-by will advise the employee of the reason for the stand-by, and the approximate duration of the stand-by. When placed on stand-by an employee must be able to respond within a “reasonable period of time.” In determining what constitutes a “reasonable period of time” for a given employee to respond when in stand-by status, the Employer will take into consideration the distance of the employee’s residence from the location to which the employee must report, the time of day the employee is called back to duty (for the purpose of assessing traffic conditions), weather conditions, and other legitimate factors likely to affect the employee’s response time. Further, when the stand-by is lifted, the supervisor will re-contact the employee and so advice the employee.
E. An employee shall not be eligible for stand-by pay while in callback, overtime or regular pay status.
F. Once an employee on stand-by status is directed to report for duty, he or she shall be compensated at the overtime rate of time and one half for each hour of work performed. Once the employee has completed the work assignment, the overtime compensation rate will cease and the employee will be considered either back on stand-by (and compensated accordingly) or off stand-by status.
Family Coverage The employee’s cost for family coverage will be nineteen and one-half percent (19.5%) of the family rate for the employee’s Base Medical Plan. If the employee chooses a plan other than the Base Medical Plan, the employee’s cost will be the standard employee’s family rate established for that plan (i.e. the rate applicable where it has not been modified to be a zone’s Base Medical Plan). The employer shall pay the rate over and above the employee’s cost for the Base Medical Plan.
COBRA Coverage Subject to Section 3(d), the Company will provide COBRA Coverage until the earliest of (A) a period of twelve (12) months from the date of the Executive’s termination of employment, (B) the date upon which the Executive (and the Executive’s eligible dependents, as applicable) becomes covered under similar plans, or (C) the date upon which the Executive ceases to be eligible for coverage under COBRA.
Primary Coverage Contractor’s insurance shall apply as primary and shall not seek contribution from any insurance or self-insurance maintained by, or provided to, the additional insureds listed above including, at a minimum, the State of Washington and/or any Purchaser. All insurance or self-insurance of the State of Washington and/or Purchasers shall be excess of any insurance provided by Contractor or subcontractors.
Stand-by The status of an employee who has been specifically assigned by an appropriate supervisor to remain available for call-in at home or any location employer has been made aware of such that the employee can be contacted by telephone to report to work immediately upon notification from employer.
COBRA Premiums If Executive timely elects continued coverage under COBRA, the Company will pay Executive’s COBRA premiums to continue Executive’s coverage (including coverage for Executive’s eligible dependents, if applicable) (“COBRA Premiums”) through the period starting on the termination date and ending twelve (12) months after the termination date (the “COBRA Premium Period”); provided, however, that the Company’s provision of such COBRA Premium benefits will immediately cease if during the COBRA Premium Period Executive becomes eligible for group health insurance coverage through a new employer or Executive ceases to be eligible for COBRA continuation coverage for any reason, including plan termination. In the event Executive becomes covered under another employer’s group health plan or otherwise ceases to be eligible for COBRA during the COBRA Premium Period, Executive must immediately notify the Company of such event.
Disability Coverage In the event a State employee goes on an extended medical disability, or is receiving Workers’ Compensation benefits, the Employer-policyholder shall continue at no cost to the employee the coverage of the group life insurance for such employee for the period of such extended leave, but not beyond two (2) years.
Liability Coverage For the benefit of System Agency, Grantee will at all times maintain liability insurance coverage, referred to in Tex. Gov. Code § 2261.102, as “director and officer liability coverage” or similar coverage for all persons in management or governing positions within Grantee’s organization or with management or governing authority over Grantee’s organization (collectively “responsible persons”). Grantee will:
1. maintain copies of liability policies on site for inspection by System Agency and will submit copies of policies to System Agency upon request.
2. maintain liability insurance coverage in an amount not less than the total value of this Contract and that is sufficient to protect the interests of System Agency in the event an actionable act or omission by a responsible person damages System Agency’s interests.
3. notify, and obtain prior approval from, the System Agency Contract Oversight and Support Section before settling a claim on the insurance.
Workers’ Compensation and Employer’s Liability Coverage The insurer shall agree to waive all rights of subrogation against the City, its directors, officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers for losses paid under the terms of the insurance policy which arise from work performed by the Consultant.
Continuing Coverage If a letter of assurance is obtained from any insurer under a Hazard Insurance policy or a Flood Insurance policy that the insurance coverage shall continue in full force and effect, the Servicer shall deposit such letter in the appropriate Servicer Mortgage Loan File.
