404 Standby Pay
In an effort to minimize the disruption of City services to its citizens, the City of
Grapevine will provide standby pay to eligible non-exempt regular full-time and
probationary employees in Fire Inspections, Facilities Services, Fleet Services, WW
Treatment, WW Collection, Water Distribution, Streets, SDUS and Traffic who
volunteer or are required to respond to emergencies during non-scheduled work
hours. Under the current criteria, Public Safety employees are exempt from this
standby pay provision with the exception of Fire Inspectors or Fire Inspector/
Investigators.
.01 Employees who are on standby will be on call for not less than seven (7) consecutive
days.
.02 Employees on first call will be compensated $100.00 for the seven (7) consecutive
day period that they are on standby status. Employees on first call will receive an
additional $50.00 for each City designated holiday that falls within their standby
period.
.03 Employees on second call will be compensated $50.00 for the seven (7) consecutive
day period that they are on standby status. Employees on second call will receive an
additional $25.00 for each City designated holiday that falls within their standby
period.
.04 Standby pay is received in addition to any overtime compensation and is used in
calculation of the overtime rate.
.05 Employees on standby status will be able to be contacted and must respond within
the time frame established by their department. However, employees who fail to
respond or are unable to be contacted at any time during the seven (7) consecutive
day period shall forfeit their claim to standby pay, be removed from the on-call list for
that seven (7) day period and be subject to disciplinary action.
.06 Employees on standby status are expected to be fit for duty upon reporting to work.
An employee who is called back to work is subject to the provisions of the Drug and
Alcohol policy.
.07 Each division will establish their seven (7) consecutive day standby period, required
response time and positions eligible for standby pay.
.08 As with all Citywide policies, changes or additions to the Standby Pay policy must be
approved by the City Manager or his designee prior to implementation.
