Article 31 - Standby On-Call Rosters
§31.1
Nurses, nurse anesthetists and physician assistants who are required
to be available for immediate recall and who must be prepared to return to duty within a
limited period of time shall be listed on standby on-call assignment rosters. Recall
assignments from such rosters shall be equitably rotated, insofar as it is possible to do
so, among those employees qualified and normally required to perform the duties. The
establishment of such rosters at a facility shall be subject to the approval of the
department or agency involved and the Director of the Budget. All employees in positions allocated to or equated with Grades 22 and below
who are required to be available for immediate recall and who must be prepared to
return to duty within a limited period of time shall be listed on standby on-call
assignment rosters. Recall assignments from such rosters shall be equitably rotated,
insofar as it is possible to do so, among those employees qualified and normally
required to perform the duties. The establishment of such rosters at a facility shall be
subject to the approval of the department or agency involved and the Director of the
Budget.
§31.2 The State shall provide an amount equal to 15 percent of the daily rate of
compensation payable to employees in the titles in Section 31.1 of this Article which will
be paid to such employees who are eligible to earn overtime for each eight hours or
part thereof that the employees are actually scheduled to remain and do remain
available for recall pursuant to such roster, provided, however, in the event the
employees are actually recalled to work, they will receive appropriate overtime or recall
compensation as provided by law instead of said 15 percent of the daily salary.
Standby on-call payments pursuant to this Article shall be paid quarterly.
Administration of such payments shall be at the rate of 1/10 of the biweekly rate of
compensation and will include the geographic, location, inconvenience and shift pay as
may be appropriate to the place or hours normally worked.
§31.3 Employees who are recalled to work from a standby roster shall not be
assigned "make-work" during such recall.
