Show-up/Stand-by Clause Samples

Show-up/Stand-by. (a) When an employee or prospective employee reports to work at the scheduled starting time and he is prepared to work, he shall be entitled to a minimum of two (2) hours pay at the applicable rate of pay and any travel time and transportation applicable whether he commences work or not. In such event, the employer may require the employee(s) to remain on the site and may also require them to perform any work that may be available. On out-of-town work, where employees do not commute daily, an employee will be entitled to receive the above noted show up pay unless they are advised, prior to the completion of their shift, of the cancellation of the next scheduled shift (b) If an employee is asked to “stand-by” beyond the two hours show-up, the employee will be paid a minimum of four hours pay at the applicable rate of pay. If the employee is asked to “stand-by” in excess of four hours, they will be paid the applicable hourly rate for each hour spent standing-by beyond four hours. (c) When an employee is working out of town and is not within reasonable traveling distance to return home (150 kms. or more) and more than one scheduled shift has been cancelled on a maintenance project then, for the second cancelled shift a worker will be paid four hours at straight time rates and will be paid eight hours at straight time rates for any subsequent scheduled shifts missed. Alternatively, a worker will be paid travel time (and kilometres if transportation is not provided) for return transportation to the city where they were dispatched. This will not apply where the owner of the project has shut down the entire project and workers from all trades are not working (with the exception of a skeleton crew)
