This policy does not apply to employees other than regular field workers. 34.5 ON-CALL Regular Field Workers. Required On-Call Rotation for Regular Field Workers, Regular field workers (including linepersons, water operators, and other specifically trained field workers) are subject to a residency rule. These same workers are also subject to required participation in a scheduled on-call rotation. Apprentices may be excluded from the on-call rotation for up to one year from their date of hire, per management discretion. The on-call rotation is scheduled in one (1) week blocks. Residency Rule. The residency rule applies to the regular field workers who may be required to serve on-call. The residency rule is that these employees must live within a twelve (12) mile radius of the power plant. Response Time. The following guidelines on response time apply to regular field workers in the on-call rotation schedule on a 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week basis during the workers' scheduled on-call weeks. While on-call, workers must remain within the 12 mile residency radius. While on-call, workers are expected to make immediate telephone contact in response to a call. While on-call, workers are expected to urgently report to a site of need within a reasonable time, which will vary depending on the identified reason for the call. Depending on the need an on-call worker may find it necessary to call in a field partner to assist in providing appropriate and timely call response. Take Home Vehicles. Regular field workers who are part of the scheduled on-call rotation will be provided a company vehicle to take home for the exclusive purpose of responding to calls about Utilities business during the on-call block. Compensation for On-Call Time. Time spent on-call by regular field workers is not working time. In recognition of this on-call service, however, nominal compensation is paid. 2/ A~1c~-v-~Fa{F!
