Common use of Callback Time Clause in Contracts

Callback Time. Callback time shall be defined as unscheduled time worked after an employee has been released from his regular shift, and does not connect a succeeding shift. Any employee required to work after being called back will be assured a minimum of two (2) hours’ pay and will be compensated at the appropriate overtime rate of 1 ½ times their regular salary per hour. An employee who is being compensated pursuant to this Article for the assured minimum two (2) hours compensation shall remain on duty for the entire duration the employee is receiving compensation. At an employee’s request, and with the approval of the Chief of Emergency Services, or his designee, the employee may forfeit the assured minimum compensation as provided by this Article and shall be compensated for actual time worked at an appropriate rate pursuant to the overtime provisions of this Agreement (i.e., an employee can go home early and get paid for actual time spent working, rather than being forced to remain for the minimum two hours). Emergency Response Callback Time Shall be defined as an employee who is off-duty and who responds to an emergency within Hopewell Valley. The employee shall be compensated for all such Callback Time at the employee’s overtime rate of pay and such time shall be treated as “overtime” for all other purposes pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, regardless of whether or not the time would otherwise qualify as “overtime.”
