On-call pay is given to provide compensation for our non-exempt employees who maintain their availability during off-duty hours to come back to work and perform emergency and/or necessary assignments based on operational needs.

In order to receive on-call pay, an employee must be instructed in writing by their supervisor/department to be available for work outside the regular work schedule, be at a fixed location, and be ready to be back at the work station when needed.

Employees will be compensated by payment of $3.00 per hour for each whole hour that the employee is required to be on-call.

On-call pay is not compensable for purposes of computing overtime.

Exempt employees and all law enforcement personnel will not be eligible to receive on- call pay.

Guidelines for reporting On-Call:

• Employee’s must enter a “Quantity” of hours on the specific date they were on-call.
• Select the Time Reporting Code of OCO for the quantity of hours being reported.
• Ensure that the total reported hours worked and the quantity of on-call hours being reported do not exceed a maximum of 24 hours per day.
