8.4 Call back and Rest time

  • Employees who finish their call back work within six (6) hours before their regular shift will have the right to take six (6) hours of rest time.
  • During that rest time period, the employee will be paid regular salary, including all premiums, hours of their regular shift, that are taken in rest time.
  • Employees cannot take paid rest time if they are called at home after 5 am.
  • When employees finish or continue their call back after their regular shift has begun, they can, until no later than 10 am., proceed to the transfer of the job and leave the work-place to take their rest time period while being paid at the regular rate. On this occasion, it is agreed that the thirty (30) minute lunch period will not be calculated during the six (6) hour rest time period.
  • The time clock is the point of reference employees must use to validate the times at which they both left and returned to their scheduled work.
  • Employees are also responsible for reporting to their supervisor the time at which they returned to work after their rest period. Employees who do not use the time clock to confirm their arrivals and departures cannot take advantage of the six-hour (6) rest period.
