  2. A Communications Superintendent is required to provide leadership on-call duty for the period of 1900 to 0700 during their regular shift of four (4) days. The Superintendent must be available for telephone consultation and/or immediate callback to the Communications Center.
  3. The employer agrees to pay three dollars and fifty cents ($3.50) per hour for each hour of on-call duty.
  4. An Employee who is required to be "called back" during on-call duty, or called back outside of regular scheduled hours of work for emergency coverage, shall be paid for all hours worked during the call-back at two time (2X) the Employee's basic rate of pay, or for six (6) hours at straight time, whichever is greater.  Should the Employee receive another call-back within the time frame of the first call-back, it shall be considered continuous with the first call-back.
