Mandatory Scheduled Standby Clause Samples
The Mandatory Scheduled Standby clause requires certain personnel or resources to be available and ready for deployment during specified periods, regardless of whether their services are ultimately needed. In practice, this means that employees or contractors must remain on-call and prepared to respond immediately during designated standby times, often with compensation or specific conditions outlined for this availability. The core function of this clause is to ensure operational readiness and rapid response capability, addressing the need for immediate action in critical situations or peak demand periods.
