Common use of Assigned Hours Clause in Contracts

Assigned Hours. Assigned hours include reasonable time spent in preparation for work before and after the shift, travel to and from the assignment, time spent in staging, briefings, check-in, and demobilization. When resources are assigned to “Standby” in Base Camp for initial attack or emergency deployment to the field, even though they are not assigned to the Incident Action Plan, all hours will be reimbursable. This condition requires the approval of the Operations Section Chief and the signature of the Division Supervisor on the crew time report. Not included for reimbursement are unscheduled overtime hours such as meals, sleep time, and unassigned hours. During unassigned hours, personnel can leave base camp and are free from duty.
