Standby Time Pay Sample Clauses
The Standby Time Pay clause establishes compensation for employees or contractors who are required to remain available for work but are not actively engaged in their primary duties. Typically, this clause applies when workers must be on call at a job site or remain within a certain proximity, ready to begin work if needed, but are not performing productive tasks during this period. Its core function is to ensure fair payment for time spent waiting and to address the potential loss of other work opportunities, thereby protecting workers from uncompensated downtime.
