Common use of Callback Overtime Clause in Contracts

Callback Overtime. A. Callback overtime occurs whenever an employee is ordered to return to duty for unscheduled work, typically while on stand-by duty. An employee called back to duty shall be compensated at the overtime rate of one and one-half times the employee’s regular rate of pay. For callback overtime only, overtime begins when the employee receives the order to return to duty for unscheduled work. All other overtime begins when the employee arrives at the worksite. Callback does not occur when an employee is held over from his/her prior regularly scheduled shift. B. If an employee receives an order to return to work either on a day they are not scheduled or more than three (3) hours before their regularly scheduled shift, they shall be compensated at the overtime rate of one and one-half times their regular rate of pay for three (3) hours or the amount of time worked on the call, whichever is greater. If an employee receives an order to return to work less than three (3) hours before their regularly scheduled shift, they shall be compensated at the overtime rate of one and one-half times the employee’s regular rate of pay from the time the employee receives the order to return to work until the start of the employee’s regularly scheduled shift. For example, if the employee is called back at 5:00 am and they are scheduled to begin work at 7:00 am, they will receive two (2) hours of call back overtime pay. C. In lieu of call back overtime pay, employees may elect to receive credit to CTO computed at the above rates. D. An employee who works more than 16 hours during any 24 hour period as a result of overtime or callback overtime may be subject to a required rest period.
