Common use of IN WORK Clause in Contracts

IN WORK. An officer who is called in to perform work other than that for which he/she had previously been scheduled shall, except as provided below, be paid for his/her minimum number of call-in hours at time and one-half (1-1/2) his/her regular hourly rate of pay or for the actual time necessarily worked at time and one-half (1-1/2) his/her regular hourly rate, whichever is greater. The minimum shall not apply if the officer is called in to work prior to, but for a period continuous with, his/her regular starting time, or retained to work afterward, but for a period continuous with, his/her regular quitting time. When an officer is called in and then continues to work his/her regularly scheduled shift, the University agrees not to shorten the officer's regularly scheduled shift in order to avoid overtime payments without the agreement of the officer, unless the total continuous time worked would exceed twelve (12) hours. However, if both the officer and the University agree, the officer may work only twelve (12) hours. In any event, no officer shall work more than sixteen (16) hours in any one (1) twenty-four (24)-hour period without the prior approval of the Chief or the Deputy Chief.
