STANDING DOWN EMPLOYEES. The employer has the right to deduct payment for any day the employee cannot be usefully employed because of any strike or through any breakdown in machinery or any stoppage of work by any cause for which the employer cannot reasonably be held responsible.
STANDING DOWN EMPLOYEES. The employer may stand down any employee without pay on any day, or for part of any day, on which the employee cannot be usefully employed because of the occurrence of anything for which the employer is not responsible and over which the employer has no control e.g. cyclone.
STANDING DOWN EMPLOYEES. Summary The employer has the right to stand down an employee without pay in certain circumstances.
STANDING DOWN EMPLOYEES. Stand-down is “the practice of temporarily removing an employee from the performance of safety- sensitive functions based only on a report from a laboratory to the MRO of a confirmed positive test for a drug or drug metabolite, an adulterated test, or a substituted test, before the MRO has completed verification of the test result.” DOT regulations prohibit employers from standing employees down, before the MRO has completed verification of the test result. A verified test is a drug test result or validity testing result from an HHS-certified laboratory that has undergone review and final determination by the MRO. The District may assign a driver non-driving duties pending the receipt of a verified test result when the District has reasonable suspicion to believe the employee is impaired. When the District does remove an employee from service, following verification of the drug test result, it will do so consistent with the confidentiality requirements, within its control, imposed by law.
STANDING DOWN EMPLOYEES. The employer may deduct payment for any day or part thereof the employee cannot be usefully employed because of any strike or through any breakdown in machinery or any stoppage of work by any cause for which the employer cannot reasonably be held responsible. Employees may be stood down for the duration of the stoppage of work, including part of a shift. Employee may be stood down before or after commencing work. In the event of a breakdown of machinery or equipment, or failure of such machinery or equipment due to the loss of power (electricity, air, water, etc) where the down time is estimated by the employer to be greater than three (3) hours, the employer may advise employees (if no other gainful employment is available) to stand down and the employee can elect to use their annual leave entitlement if available. If paid annual leave is not available, the employee(s) will be stood down without pay.
