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.
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.
