CALL-OUT PROVISION Clause Samples
A call-out provision is a contractual clause that allows one party, typically an employer or service provider, to require another party, such as an employee or contractor, to report for work or provide services outside of their regular schedule, often on short notice. This provision outlines the conditions under which call-outs can occur, such as minimum notice periods, compensation rates for call-out work, and any limitations on frequency or duration. The core practical function of a call-out provision is to provide flexibility for the party needing urgent or unscheduled work, while also establishing clear expectations and protections for the party being called out, thereby reducing disputes and ensuring operational continuity.
CALL-OUT PROVISION. An employee who is called back to work outside of the employee’s regular working hours shall be compensated for a minimum of two (2) hours at the applicable overtime rate.
CALL-OUT PROVISION. A regular employee who is called back to work outside their regular working hours shall be compensated for a minimum of three hours at overtime rates. They shall be compensated from the time they leave their home to report for duty until the time they arrive back upon proceeding directly to and from work.
CALL-OUT PROVISION. A regular employee who is called back to work outside his regular working hours shall be compensated for a minimum of four (4) hours at the applicable overtime rates. The four (4) hour minimum does not apply to employees who have received prior notice that they will be called back. Upon return to work such employees will be compensated for a minimum of two (2) hours at their applicable overtime rate.
CALL-OUT PROVISION. (a) An employee called to work on an emergency job after having checked out shall be paid time and one-half for all hours worked on the emergency job, or four (4) hours at time and one-half, whichever is greater, provided that the calculation of time involved in the emergency job does not overlap with any regularly scheduled shift.
(b) An employee called to work on his/her day off will be paid at the rate of time and one-half for all hours worked.
CALL-OUT PROVISION. No employee shall be required to report back for overtime work following the regular hours of work on Monday to Saturday, inclusive, for less than three (3) hours work at the prevailing overtime rates of pay.
CALL-OUT PROVISION. 1. There is no “standby” or “on call” compensation for bargaining unit members. Management will be responsible for accessing requirements needed to respond to an “after normal working hours” emergency and based on those requirements, management may “call out” employees for such emergencies. “After normal working hours” is defined by any hour following the employees regularly scheduled workday and/or workweek. All employees are considered essential employees and are subject to the call-out provision based on management’s requirements needed to respond to an emergency.
2. An employee who is called-out, shall receive their regular rate of pay for actual time worked and shall be guaranteed a minimum of four (4) hours of pay at their regular rate of pay. The “call-out” provision shall not be included in the calculation of overtime. If an employee who is called-out, fails to respond within thirty (30) minutes to the emergency may be subject to disciplinary actions up to and including termination of employment.
