On call pay

    Who all compensates after hours on call pay?

    Currently the City of Greenwood compensates the employee for a minimum of 2 hours pay at the employee's applicable rate of pay for each call-out answered after or outside the normal, established work hours and at the Department Head's discretion. So regardless, if the call out issue takes 15 mins or 1 hour the employee is paid for 2 hours. The City is discussing if the employees "on call" should be paid extra per hour instead while they are on call. Can those who cities have this policy or similar please send me a copy of the policy? I would greatly appreciate any response

    We do not have a written policy but we pay each employee $100.00 per week for non-holiday weeks and $125.00 for holiday weeks just for being on call and pay them for the time they spend on a call during that week.   

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    We do two hours as well, and four hours if it is on a holiday.

    For Police CID they get $25 per day, and then Animal Services and Street/Traffic get basically a $100 for the weekend.

    This is all configured into rate of pay if OT of course.
