On-Call Payments. (1) Employees with necessary skills may be requested to remain in contact with the Company outside of scheduled tours by use of a beeper or other communication device. The requirement to remain in contact with the Company will be rotated among all qualified volunteers in the work group. Depending on operational needs, employees with the necessary skills may be assigned on-call for one (1) day or more than one (1) day, up to and including seven (7) consecutive days. Those employees who have agreed to remain in contact will be compensated as follows: (i) Thirty-five dollars ($35.00) per day (if on call for a non-scheduled day). (ii) Twenty dollars ($20.00) per day (if on call for the periods immediately before and after work on a scheduled workday). *These revised on-call rates will be paid retroactively from May 15, 2022, to the date of ratification as soon as practicable after ratification. Employees called-up will be eligible for call-up treatment as provided for in Paragraph 3(b). Employees actually called in will be eligible for call-in payment as provided for in Paragraph 3(c). In the absence of sufficient volunteers, the Local Manager will meet and discuss the need for volunteers with the Local Union. (2) When, because of illness or other absence, another employee is required to substitute for the employee assigned on-call responsibility, the substituting employee will receive a daily on-call payment (under the same terms and conditions described in Paragraph 5 (b)(1) above) instead of the originally assigned employee for each day of substitution.
