Common use of Call Out Procedures Clause in Contracts

Call Out Procedures. Responses to a snow storm that affects employee staffing include, but are not limited to, Partial Call Outs and a Full Call Out. It is expected that responses to a snow storm will typically involve a Full Call Out. A call out for a snow storm is presumed to be a Full Call Out versus a Partial Call Out unless management specifically notifies employees being contacted for a call out that the Call Out is a Partial Call Out. Full Call Outs shall be considered mandatory overtime and Partial Call Outs (i.e. less than a full shift) shall initially be considered voluntary overtime. In the event of trouble spots or drifting, and in the event the Public Services Director or his designee determines that the level of a response to a snow storm does not require a full call out, a partial call out may be implemented. Initially, the Sewer Division employee on standby will be contacted to respond. If the Sewer Division employee on call is unavailable, the Duty Supervisor will be contacted. The determination as to the number of additional employees to be called in to respond, including whether to utilize a partial call out or full call out, will be determined by the Public Services Director or his designee. Initial calls for partial call outs shall be first to the Sewer Division employee on standby and then based upon seniority of qualified employees. Should the City be unable to obtain enough volunteers after using its best efforts to secure volunteers for a partial call out, the partial call out shall be considered mandatory overtime and the City shall have the right to make mandatory overtime call out assignments. Mandatory overtime assignments shall be rotational whereby the qualified employee with the least seniority shall receive the first mandatory overtime assignment and thereafter mandatory overtime shall be in ascending order of reverse seniority for each successive instance.
