Standby Assignments. A. An employee who is required to remain on standby shall receive an additional twenty- nine dollars ($29) per day as standby allowance. A day is similar to a shift day in that it begins at 8:00 a.m. and runs to 7:59 a.m. the following morning. Because the “shift day” begins on one day and ends on the following day, it is understood the standby day shall be the day when the shift began. Employees who are called out while on standby shall receive two (2) hours minimum at time and one-half. Any employee who is called out on New Year’s Day, Christmas Day, Thanksgiving Day, or 4th of July, and works a minimum of eight (8) hours shall receive time-and-a half plus get (8) hours holiday to put in a bank to cash out; or may take the holiday on a different day within the same pay period. B. An employee required to be on standby must be ready to report to work, fit for duty, within 30 minutes of notification. If not fit for duty, or if not reporting within 30 minutes, the employee's standby allowance shall be forfeited and disciplinary action may be initiated. C. Consistent with the current city vehicle policy, employees assigned to stand – by (or on- call) are permitted to take a city vehicle home for the purpose of assisting in a more rapid response to any call-back duties.
