Section 19-98 Minimum call-in compensation.

(a) Employees in positions eligible for overtime pay who have left their normal place of work for their residence or elsewhere and have completed at least one full, normal shift of work (time on the job) and who are called back to work shall be credited a minimum of three (3) hours pay at the overtime rate for the first occurrence of call-back. If more than one call is received, the employee shall continue to earn overtime in addition to the first three (3) hour minimum. However, if the employee is required to work a total of three (3) hours or more, the standard overtime pay provisions shall apply. Only one minimum three (3) hour call-in allowance shall be provided per day. Employees called in from outside the city limits shall not have call-in travel time reimbursed or included in the three (3) hour allocation to the extent such travel time is outside the city limits. An employee actually working more than three (3) hours shall not receive any special travel-time pay.
