Study Notes

Recall and Court Time Policy

Bargaining unit members recalled to work will receive pay from the notification time, as outlined in Article 15 regarding Overtime/Compensatory Time.
When required to attend court or related proceedings outside their scheduled shift, members are guaranteed a minimum of four hours pay at one and a half times their hourly rate, or equivalent compensatory time off.
If work or court attendance coincides with a member's scheduled shift, they will be paid at their overtime rate, and the four-hour minimum recall does not apply.
Members attending court or proceedings one hour or less before their scheduled shift starts will be compensated with one hour of overtime.
Members attending court or proceedings one hour or less after their scheduled shift ends will receive overtime pay for the duration from the end of their shift to the end of the court proceedings, or one hour, whichever amount is greater.
For court attendance exceeding one hour but less than or equal to four hours and one minute after the scheduled shift, members will be paid at the overtime rate, either for a minimum of four hours or for the actual time elapsed, whichever is greater.
Members on authorized disability or sick leave, while required to obtain a physician's clearance before returning to work, are not eligible for call-in or overtime pay.
