CALL-IN PAY
Jones-Hamilton Co. will pay a minimum of four (4) hours of pay to certain designated
plant positions who are called in to report to work on a day other than their normally
scheduled workday.
ON-CALL AND CALL-BACK PAY
Requiring an employee to stay at home or at work on "on-call" (also known as
"standby") status may qualify that time as hours worked. "On-call" time is not
compensable if the employee can use the time spent on-call primarily for his/her own
benefit. In determining whether on-call time is work time, Jones-Hamilton Co. will
consider:
▪ Geographic restrictions on the employee's movements;
▪ Required response time;
▪ The nature of the employment relationship and industry practice; and
▪ Any other limitation on the employee's ability to use the time for his/her own
benefit response time.
Being required to carry a cell phone normally does not constitute hours worked. All
time spent on callbacks during a standby period is counted as time worked.
Call-back and compensable on-call (standby) time is paid the same as regular hours
worked, and the regular or agreed wage for this period, as well as applicable overtime
will be paid.
PAY FOR MANDATORY MEETINGS OR TRAINING
Jones-Hamilton Co. will pay non-exempt employees for their attendance at meetings,
lectures, and training programs under the following conditions:
• Attendance is mandatory; and
• The meeting, course, or lecture is directly related to the employee's job.
An employee who is required to attend such meetings, lectures, or training programs
will be notified of the necessity for such attendance by his or her supervisor.
Employees will be compensated at their regular rate of pay. Any hours in excess of 40
in a week will be paid at the appropriate overtime rate, at the hourly rate in effect at
the time the overtime work is being performed.
OVERTIME
Employees may be required to work overtime as necessary. Only actual hours worked
in a given workweek will apply in calculating overtime. Jones-Hamilton Co. will
attempt to distribute overtime as possible and accommodate individual schedules. A
supervisor must authorize all overtime work in advance of work being performed.
Jones-Hamilton Co. provides compensation for all overtime hours worked by non-
exempt employees in accordance with state and federal law as follows:
