Accommodations Enroute Clause Samples
The "Accommodations Enroute" clause defines the obligations and arrangements for providing lodging or other necessary accommodations to individuals while they are traveling between locations as part of their duties or under a contract. Typically, this clause specifies who is responsible for booking and paying for accommodations, the standards or types of lodging to be provided, and any reimbursement procedures if individuals arrange their own accommodations. Its core practical function is to ensure that all parties have a clear understanding of how travel-related accommodations will be handled, thereby preventing disputes and ensuring comfort and safety during transit.
Accommodations Enroute. A. When accommodations are to be provided enroute, the Rail Traffic Controller may instruct Locomotive Engineers and Conductors to take rest prior to the expiration of the 10th hour on duty or the 11th hour on duty, as the case may be, so that accommodations can be readily provided. In such circumstances, Locomotive Engineers and Conductors will not be considered as tied up between terminals and Article 14 shall not apply.
B. Where accommodations are unavailable at the location where the crew ties-up or is relieved, the Locomotive Engineer and Conductor will be transported to a location where accommodations are available. In such cases, the rest period will commence at the time accommodations are reached. If, in the application of this Clause (b), this results in Locomotive Engineer and Conductor being on duty beyond the time rest booked is due to commence, they will be paid for such extra time on a minute basis (each 4.8 minutes to count as one mile), with a minimum of 12 1/2 miles for each hour or portion thereof, at the rate applicable to the service performed on the tour of duty, until such time as accommodations are reached. In the application of this Clause (b), time occupied in travelling between locations shall not be considered deadheading, nor shall miles travelled be paid for.
