Stand-By Pay. A. Definitions
1. “Stand-by status” is a condition of employment whereby an employee is designated by his/her department to be ready to be engaged in work. The employee must be in readiness to perform actual work when the need arises or when called. Employees on stand-by status are required to be available by telephone, radio, or pager when on stand-by.
2. “Stand-by pay” is the compensation paid to employees who are assigned to stand-by duty and who are required by their respective supervisors to remain available to report to work during and for a specified period of time beyond the employees’ assigned work period.
B. Employees designated by a supervisor to remain available for work in a stand-by status shall be compensated at an hourly rate of fifteen percent (15%) of their regular hourly rate.
C. An employee in authorized stand-by status must provide the Employer with a telephone number where the employee may be reached, or make himself or herself available and able to be contacted through a communication device (e.g. radio or pager).
D. Assignment to authorized stand-by status includes the following conditions:
1. The requirement must be definite and the employee must be officially notified by the supervisor to remain on stand-by status;
2. The requirement must be continuous until such time as the employee is actually per- forming work, reporting for a scheduled work period, or specifically relieved from stand-by status;
3. Supervisors placing an employee on stand-by will advise the employee of the reason for the stand-by, and the approximate duration of the stand-by. When placed on stand-by an employee must be able to respond within a “reasonable period of time.” In determining what constitutes a “reasonable period of time” for a given employee to respond when in stand-by status, the Employer will take into consideration the distance of the employee’s residence from the location to which the employee must report, the time of day the employee is called back to duty (for the purpose of assessing traffic conditions), weather conditions, and other legitimate factors likely to affect the employee’s response time. Further, when the stand-by is lifted, the supervisor will re-contact the employee and so advice the employee.
E. An employee shall not be eligible for stand-by pay while in callback, overtime or regular pay status.
F. Once an employee on stand-by status is directed to report for duty, he or she shall be compensated at the overtime rate of time and ...
Stand-By Pay. An employee is entitled to stand-by pay if he/she is required by the Agency in writing to be on stand-by, that is, to be available for possible call to work. If it is not practical to notify an employee in writing regarding stand-by status, the Employer may utilize oral or telephone means. Standby status may be canceled by telephone, providing written notice of such cancellation is provided to the employee within forty-eight (48) hours. An employee entitled to stand-by pay shall receive twenty-five percent (25%) of his/her base rate of pay for each hour he/she is in stand-by status. Standby time will be excluded from overtime calculation. Stand-By status shall be distinguished from Call- Back status by the following: 1) Direct notice of the requirement, as in the preceding; 2) Employee’s off-duty activities are specifically restricted by the Employer; 3) Employee is given a specific period of time during which he/she must respond to any summons from the Employer with the consequence of discipline for failure to respond/report. Once summoned to report, Stand-By pay will continue until the employee reports and actual work is performed, at which time the pay provisions of the Call-Back Section (Section 13.08) will apply and Stand-By pay will cease. An employee required to carry a pager while “on-call” is not in Stand-By status unless specifically notified that he/she is to be on “Stand- By” status.
Stand-By Pay. Employees are entitled to stand-by pay if required to remain on the Employer’s premises or so close thereto that the employee cannot use the time effectively for his/her own purposes.

An employee who is not required to remain on the Employer’s premises but is merely required to leave word at his/her home or with the Employer where he/she may be reached is not working while on call. If an employee is called back to work, the provisions of Section 2 apply. Any employee who is place on call shall not be required to perform any duties the employee is not qualified to perform.
