Effective May 16, 2010

Employees covered by this policy
This policy applies to Service Maintenance employees at IU Bloomington.

A. Stand-by Pay

1. A department will establish in consultation with the campus human resources office stand-by procedures for the department that are consistent with the criteria listed below.  The department will determine what jobs are covered and what hours are covered for stand-by time for the department and provide the information to the employees and to the campus human resources office.

2. Eligibility for stand-by pay will be determined in consultation with the department and the campus human resources office and must meet all of the following criteria:

   1. Employees are required to be available on call to work at a time that is outside their normal scheduled hours of work.

   2. During the designated stand-by hours, employees who are assigned to stand-by status are unrestricted in movements or location, but must remain accessible by phone or pager and in a fit condition to work.

   3. Stand-by employees must be available and respond within a reasonable time period established by the department.

   4. Employees assigned to stand-by status who cannot be located, who do not respond in a timely manner, or who fail to report to work when called in will forfeit stand-by pay for that shift.

3. The amount of the stand-by pay will be one hour's pay for every eight hours on call.

B. Call-back Pay

1. A staff member who is called back to work in the regular position outside the scheduled workday, necessitating an additional trip to and from work outside the normal workday, is compensated for a minimum of two hours at time and one-half.

1. A staff member will receive this compensation only once for the same block of two hours regardless of the number of trips back to work during that two hour period.

2. Travel time is included in the call-back calculation in departments where this practice currently exists at the time of this agreement [July 1, 2006].

C. Emergency Rest Time

1. Emergency conditions occasionally require SM employees to work continuously beyond normal work assignments. Situations develop where workers have inadequate rest to report for their normal work hours.

1. For purposes of this policy "adequate rest" is defined as six or more hours free from work.

2. The policy shall be that all work beyond sixteen continuous hours shall be further compensated by granting one hour of time off for each hour of time worked beyond sixteen continuous hours. This time will be designated as Emergency Rest Time (ERT).

3. This Emergency Rest Time will be in addition to the normal compensation for the hours worked.

4. Furthermore, under extreme emergency conditions in cases where employees are given less than six (6) hours off-the-clock before returning to the job, the hours of each work assignment will be combined. Emergency Rest Time will be earned for all hours worked in excess of sixteen (16) hours in that period. Emergency Rest Time will not be earned for hours off the job between work assignments.

1. Extreme emergency conditions are defined as unexpected or serious situations with campus-wide impact that require urgent, immediate action or endanger the university such as: snow, earthquake, flood, fire, tornados, riots, terrorism, and utility outages.

2. “Extreme emergency conditions” do not include situations such as scheduled overtime, regular call-out, stand-by, or any other situation not described in paragraph d.1.

5. Employees shall receive up to a maximum of eight (8) hours of Emergency Rest Time for all hours actually worked without adequate rest. (7/02)

6. The employee will be required to use this time for the employee's next normal workday that emergency conditions do not make that employee's attendance necessary. An employee who has accrued the maximum of eight (8) hours of Emergency Rest Time must receive their supervisor's approval to continue working. IUPD employees shall use the Emergency Rest Time as soon as it may be scheduled by the Department without affecting campus safety or security.

7. Should the emergency cause the employee to continue to work beyond 24 hours without adequate rest of 8 hours off the clock, each hour after 24 hours will be paid at a rate twice the employee's regular rate of pay. (7/02)
