All employees are subject to call back in emergencies or as needed by the town to provide necessary services to the public. A refusal to respond to a call back is grounds for immediate disciplinary action, including possible termination. Employees called back to duty will be paid their appropriate rate of pay for hours worked, which shall include a minimum of two hours paid. The two-hour minimum shall not apply when such time is worked consecutively with the employee’s regular scheduled hours of work. The employee may choose at their own will to instead take two hours off at another time during that work week; provided, that the time off would not disrupt regularly scheduled activities or operations. (Ord. 624 § 1, 2020; Ord. 518 § 2, 2009)
