Common use of Payment for Lost Time Clause in Contracts

Payment for Lost Time.

(b) An employee required by the Authority to attend Court or Inquest shall be paid for all time lost from work, or all time spent, whichever is greater. Travel time shall be included in computing time lost from work, or time spent. Under circumstances otherwise not compensated in this Section 13(b), an employee required (summoned) to attend Court or Inquest not required or at the behest of the Au- thority shall utilize vacation leave (day of vacation) not to exceed eight (8) hours of vacation pay for each day of such required attendance. A single day of vacation earned but not selected during the current vacation year will be uti- lized first before adjustments are made to previous selected (picked) single vacation days. Employees with no available vacation single days will be granted leave without pay to attend the Court or Inquest. (c) An employee summoned or required by the Police or Court Authorities to attend Court or Inquest shall be paid for all time lost from work when involved in an accident or occur- rence with an Authority vehicle while on duty, and under the following circumstances: 1. When involved in a non-moving (standing) accident or occurrence where the Authority vehicle was standing at the time of impact, provided, the Authority vehicle had been standing a reasonable length of time prior to the impact, so the employee would in no way be judged as contributing to the accident. 2. When there is reasonable evidence to establish that a mechanical failure or defect, which was properly re- ported on the accident report by the employee, was a contributing factor to the accident or occurrence. (d) An employee who is involved in a moving accident, and is required by the Police or Court Authorities to attend Court or Inquest will not be paid for time lost from work or spent attending Court or Inquest, unless there are extenuating circumstances which establish that the operator did not contribute to the accident. However, at the request of the employee, the Authority will make reasonable efforts to ad- just the employee’s working hours, or assign substitute work, so as to provide the employee an opportunity to work and earn a day’s pay. 1. Consideration will be given to an employee involved in a moving accident when there are extenuating cir- cumstances supported by evidence beyond reason- able doubt that the operator in no way contributed to the accident. 2. The Authority shall reimburse employees for the cost of any driver’s permit (other than a permit authorizing the driving of buses issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles of the jurisdiction in which the em- ployee resides—District of Columbia, Maryland or Virginia) where work requires such permit. 3. Any loss of personal property of an employee, result- ing from a hold-up, robbery, or theft, occurring while the employee is on duty, shall be reimbursed by the Authority, provided, that the employee is not carrying an amount of money or property which is unreason- able under all the circumstances.
