Departments will identify those individuals having authority to call employees in for the purpose of responding to emergency situations. On-call personnel may be issued pagers for their use. While on-call, employees will restrict their activities such that the performance of duty, were they to be called in, would not be impaired. Employees assigned to on-call duty must prearrange with their immediate supervisor for a replacement if circumstances develop which would prevent them from responding to an emergency call. All employees within a particular department will be compensated in the same manner.
Compensation begins upon arrival to work.
The rate of compensation for non-exempt employees will depend upon the number of hours worked during the work week. Employees who fail to respond when called are subject to disciplinary action in accordance with the State's Standards of Conduct and Performance.
