SCS RULE 6.28 COMPENSATION FOR ON-CALL DUTY/SHIFT WORK Subject to the provisions of SCS Rule 6.29, (a) This rule allows the SCS Director to authorize compensation for on-call/shift work. The SCS Commission may authorize amounts at levels higher than established by the Director. (b) This rule allows higher pay or compensatory time off for being in on-call status beyond regularly scheduled work hours. Requirements for establishing an On-Call Pay Policy under SCS Rule 6.28(b) include: • The On-Call Pay policy must be submitted to SCS for review two weeks prior to implementation. • All policies are subject to pre-authorized limits set by the SCS Commission. • Current pre-authorized hourly limits are up to $2.25 per hour or ¼ hour of compensatory time for each hour worked. • If the agency’s request is above the current pre-authorized hourly limits, approval must be obtained from the SCS Commission prior to implementation. (c) This rule allows an agency to set pay differentials based on the shift that employees are assigned to work. (a) If the employee’s rate of pay falls within the range, the employee’s rate of pay shall remain the same. (b) If the employee’s current rate of pay is below the range minimum, it shall be brought to the range minimum or interim minimum if such is in effect at the time. (c) If the employee’s current rate of pay is above the range maximum, SCS Rule 6.15 shall apply. This rule provides that when an employee enters the classified service under the provisions of SCS Rule 24.2 because the employee’s position has been declared to be in the classified service, the employee’s rate of pay shall be established as follows: (d) Recruitment SCS Rule 6.16.2(d) allows an appointing authority to grant a base payment of up to 10% of the employee’s base pay to recruit permanent employees into a position for which recruiting is difficult. This rule may also recruit probational employees into critical vacancies with the offer of granting the base payment upon the employee obtaining permanent status in the position. Payments made under this option should be restricted to those areas with the highest turnover and the most recruiting difficulties and as dictated by the agency’s policy. Employees at range maximum are not eligible for this payment. Agencies are encouraged to use the sample policy as it contains all the required elements for approval.
