Common use of Overtime Callback Clause in Contracts

Overtime Callback. Any full-time Employee who is governed by Article 8, Section 14, who works overtime or is called back to work shall be paid at time and one-half his/her regular hourly rate of pay. Overtime is to be paid in quarter-hour increments (ten minutes in a quarter hour constitutes a quarter hour). If a Captain, Lieutenant, or Fire Fighter is called back to work, he/she shall be paid for a minimum of one hour of overtime unless such call back is continuous or contiguous to the Employee's assigned shift. In this instance, the Employee shall be paid overtime for the exact hours or portion thereof worked. The Fire Marshal shall also be entitled to the one hour minimum, unless his/her schedule has been flexed. Consideration will be given for Captain, Lieutenant and Fire Fighters to work overtime before the Fire Marshal is assigned. The best interest of the Township and the Employee's desire will be considered. When overtime is required and assigned to a Captain, Lieutenant or Fire Fighters, seniority will be considered. In the event of an emergency (acute sickness) seniority will be considered; however, the first available Captain, Lieutenant, or Fire Fighter will be assigned to cover the remainder of the shift. If an emergency situation requires the Fire Marshal to fill-in for a Captain, Lieutenant or Fire Fighter on a regularly scheduled shift, with prior approval of the Director of Public Safety and/or Township Supervisor, in the Director's absence, the Fire Marshal will be paid at the rate of time and one half the Step 3 Captain's hourly rate for such time worked outside his/her normal day. It is understood that this happens on a very infrequent basis, that the employee is qualified to perform the duties in question and only after attempts have been made to fill the shift with Captain, Lieutenant or Firefighter. The term Fire Fighter includes those bargaining unit members in the Captain, Lieutenant positions.
