The University will be solely responsible for determining the need for and the number and qualifications of employees required for standby.
- Hours paid for standby, except for certain UM Health Care positions routinely scheduled for standby, and subsequent call-ins while on standby will be credited toward hours worked in the week for overtime purposes, however, an employee will not be paid overtime or premium pay twice for the same hours worked nor is there to be pyramiding of pay for call-ins while on standby. Certain UM Health Care employees routinely scheduled for standby will be paid a flat rate per hour of call. Those hours will not be credited towards overtime.
