On-Call Assignments.
Article 6, Section 7 shall be supplemented and/or modified as follows:
Employees in the Southwinds, Buffalo Ridge and Tri-Star mental health initiative programs and the
Great River Active Community Treatment (ACT) Team who are assigned to respond to calls from
clients during non-work hours shall be compensated in total by applying their hourly rate of pay
divided by 4 and increasing that amount by $1.25. This rate of pay shall be applied to every hour
during which the employee is assigned to respond to client calls during non-work hours. The rate
of pay shall constitute full and complete compensation for all work performed during these nonwork
hours. However, should the employee be required to absent him/herself from the location
from which a call was received and travel to meet a client, the provisions of Article 6, Section 6,
Call-Back shall apply.
The parties agree that this agreement shall be evaluated six months following the effective date of
the agreement, to assess whether the agreement meets the needs of the parties. Should either
party wish to cancel the agreement, the party wishing to cancel shall provide 30 days notice to the
other party. In the event the agreement is cancelled, the employees of the Southwinds, Buffalo
Ridge and Tri-Star mental health initiative programs and the Great River Active Community
Treatment (ACT) Team shall be placed “on-call”, pursuant to Article 6, Section 7, during any nonwork
hours in which they are assigned to respond to client calls.

telephone or an electronic signaling device.
You will be paid fifteen (15) minutes of straight time for each one (1) hour of on-call status. You
may be scheduled for up to sixteen (16) consecutive hours on-call or for twenty-four (24)
