Standby Coverage Schedule. Sewer Division management shall establish and be responsible for maintaining a twelve (12) month standby coverage schedule. The standby coverage schedule shall be posted and made available to all employees. It is the responsibility of the employee to review the standby coverage schedule and to be aware of his or her standby coverage staffing requirements. The standby coverage schedule shall consist of seven (7) consecutive days covering the overnight hours generally the nine (9) hour period from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Sewer Division management may adjust the schedule if necessary to address the business and operating needs of the Waste Water Treatment Plant, Pump Stations and Collection System providing employees with the notice as required in Article II, Section 8. For periods outside of the standby coverage schedule the standard call-in procedures will remain in effect. The employee assigned to the standby coverage schedule shall be responsible to carry the electronic communication device and to respond to alarms and emergencies as further set forth in this paragraph. Upon receiving an alarm or emergency communication the employee shall call a qualified sewer division employee with the fewest overtime hours for that quarter requesting the employee to respond to the alarm or emergency. The employee on the standby coverage schedule who received the alarm may also be required to respond if circumstances warrant it. Responding employees shall be compensated pursuant to the terms of Article III, section 14. In lieu of the overtime equalization requirements provided in article III, section 11, the equalization of overtime requirements for sewer division employees shall be based among all employees regardless of classification. If the standby coverage employee exhausts the overtime list (i.e. no one will respond) his/her overtime hours will not be counted toward overtime equalization. In the event the employee who is to staff the standby coverage schedule is unable to perform the standby coverage assignment the employee may, for good reason, be replaced by another qualified employee from within the sewer division who accepts the standby coverage assignment. It shall be the responsibility of the employee seeking relief from the standby coverage schedule to secure a qualified replacement and notify sewer management of the name of the replacement. If a qualified replacement cannot be found the employee scheduled for the standby coverage schedule shall be required to provide the standby coverage as scheduled.
