Standby Duty. (a) An employee shall be on standby duty when required to be available for work outside their normal working hours, and subject to restrictions consistent with the FLSA which would prevent the employee from using the time while on standby duty effectively for the employee’s own purposes.
(b) Compensation for standby duty shall be at FLSA-eligible employee’s straight time rate of pay or for FLSA-exempt employees hour for hour compensatory time off. Overtime hours shall be at the appropriate overtime pay rate pursuant to Article 32.
Standby Duty. Standby duty is defined as an employee status of being ready and able to report to work and being available by phone or other electronic device during non-scheduled hours of work.
a. The City will schedule in advance when and where it needs employees on standby duty. The City shall have the sole authority to determine the qualifications needed for standby duty assignments, including response time. The City shall also describe any after-hours operating needs and qualifications, to the extent practical, in job descriptions for affected position classifications. Qualified employees will be given an equal opportunity to volunteer for standby duty assignment. Standby duty will be voluntary except in cases of emergencies or when the City deems urgent operational needs cannot be reasonably be met without requiring standby duty at which point the standby duty will be assigned. Departments shall be responsible, with input from their bargaining unit members, for developing written procedures to implement this section in a manner which minimizes required standby duty by any employee. No employee will be required to work more than twenty-four (24) days of standby duty per fiscal year. Voluntary standby duty is not subject to the twenty-four (24) day limitation. Employees assigned standby duty are expected to respond when contacted and shall receive two (2) one (1) hour straight pay for each eight (8) ten (10) hours designated in standby duty status. The one (1) hour straight time pay shall be prorated for any portion of hours of standby duty less than ten (10) hours. Standby will begin at the end of the regular shift on Friday and extend until the beginning of the shift on Monday (if there is a holiday, the beginning of the shift on Tuesday). Employees may choose to be compensated by payment or by accruing standby duty pay as compensatory time, as long as the employee has not reached their compensatory time cap. Standby duty will not be assigned more than one weekend every twenty-eight (28) days or four weeks. Employees will be compensated mileage based on the IRS Standard Mileage Rate. Department Directors may allow exceptions to response time requirements as long as operational needs are met. Any such exceptions shall be designated in writing. The provisions of this section shall not apply to any employee required to reside at their job site.

Standby Duty. Whenever an employee is placed on Standby Duty by the City, the employee shall be available at a predetermined location to respond to emergency calls and, when necessary, return immediately to work. Employees who are placed on Standby Duty by the City shall be paid at the rate of ten percent (10%) of the employee’s straight-time hourly rate of pay. When an employee is required to return to work while on Standby Duty, the Standby Duty pay shall be discontinued for the actual hours on work duty and compensation shall be provided in accordance with Section 16.5.1.

Employees assigned to standby duty are required to be available at all times while assigned. In the event the employee is contacted to report to a District facility after his/her regular work hours or on a weekend and the employee responds in a timely manner, the employee will be paid at his/her regular hourly rate the greater of two (2) hours of work or the actual number of additional hours required to respond to the pages or calls received that day.
