Covering time definition

Covering time is time while on duty during which a driver is not assigned to specific work but must remain at an assigned location to be available for work which may be assigned. “Scheduled shift” shall include all time between a driver’s scheduled first report and scheduled last finish, and may include time on layover (but not overnight layover) and/or off-duty. A “value hour” is a measure of time for the purpose of calculating pay and calculating overtime if applicable. A driver accumulates value hours at the rate of one-sixtieth (1/60) of an hour for each one (1) minute worked at full rate or greater than full rate; accumulates value hours at the rate of one- sixtieth (1/60) of an hour for each one and one-third (1 1/3) minutes worked at three-quarters rate; and accumulates value hours at the rate of one- sixtieth (1/60) of an hour for each two (2) minutes worked at half rate, with any part one-sixtieth (1/60) of a value hour accumulated over an entire shift rounded up to the next whole one-sixtieth (1/60). The “scheduled value” of a shift is the number of value hours which would be accumulated by a driver for completing the work during a shift as scheduled. An “overnight layover” is a layover between the last finish of one scheduled shift and the first report of the next scheduled shift, where that layover occurs away from the reporting location for the first scheduled shift and away from the driver’s home base.
