taking unpaid lunch breaks may subject an employee to discipline; but it will never result in the Utilities failing or refusing to pay for such time. Special Note About Work Performed Outside of Scheduled Times and Places Each non-exempt employee must accurately record and properly report all time spent performing work for the Utilities, regardless of the location where such work is performed. Employees generally should not perform work at times or places outside of the times and places they are scheduled to work by the Utilities. If a need for work outside of scheduled times or places is, or should be, anticipated, the employee should seek permission to perform such work from Utilities management in advance, and if permission is not secured in advance such work should generally not be performed. Performing work outside of scheduled and approved times and places may result in discipline; it shall not under any circumstances, however, result in an employee not being paid for time spent performing Utilities work. In the case of a non-exempt employee who is on call, the on -call stipend paid to the employee covers all compensation due for calls taken as to which there is no call out. If unanticipated, time -sensitive, or urgent work needs to be performed at times and/or places outside of those scheduled by the Utilities, the non-exempt employee should perform only so much of the work as is necessary to address the immediate need. Regardless of whether work is anticipated or of an urgent nature, and regardless of whether advance permission has been received to do such work or not, all time spent by a non- exempt employee actually performing Utilities work must be accurately recorded and properly reported to Utilities management. Further to the Special Note above: Time Worked Remotely Any and all time worked remotely, including time spent accessing Utilities systems or data for the benefit of the employer, must be recorded and reported to the Utilities in order to assure proper compensation, in accordance with the applicable provisions for exempt and non-exempt employees of this Time Reporting Policy and the Fair Pay Policy below in Section 27. 26.
