residency rule. These same workers are also subject to <br />required participation in a scheduled on-call rotation. <br />Apprentices may be excluded from the on-call rotation for up <br />to one year from their date of hire, per management discretion. <br />The on-call rotation is scheduled in one (1) week blocks. <br />Residency Rule. The residency rule applies to the regular <br />field workers who are part of a scheduled on-call rotation as <br />described above. The residency rule is that these employees <br />must live within a twelve (12) mile radius of the power plant. <br />Response Time. The following guidelines on response time <br />apply to regular field workers in the on-call rotation schedule <br />on a 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week basis during the <br />workers' scheduled on-call weeks. <br />• While on-call, workers must remain within the 12 mile <br />residency radius. <br />• While on-call, workers are expected to make immediate <br />telephone contact in response to a call. <br />• While on-call, workers are expected to urgently report <br />to a site of need within a reasonable time, which will <br />vary depending on the identified reason for the call. <br />Depending on the need an on-call worker may find it <br />necessary to call in a field partner to assist in providing <br />appropriate and timely call response. <br />Take Home Vehicles. Regular field workers who are part of <br />the scheduled on-call rotation will be provided a company <br />vehicle to take home for the exclusive purpose of responding to <br />calls about Utilities business during the on-call block. <br />Compensation for On-Call Time. Time spent on-call time by <br />regular field workers is not working time. In recognition of <br />this on-call service, however, nominal compensation is paid. <br />This compensation, which covers the entire one (1) week block <br />of on-call service, is twelve (12) hours at the worker's base rate <br />of pay. If a recognized paid holiday falls within the on-call <br />block, an additional three (3) hours at the worker's base rate of <br />pay is added to the on-call compensation. <br />Compensation for Actual Response Time. Time spent <br />actually responding to a call that is received while a worker is <br />serving on-call, however, is working time, and is therefore paid <br />based on an employee's regular rate of pay. <br />20 <br />
