(1) Scheduled work period employees shall be notified prior to their scheduled quitting time either to return to work after departing the worksite or to change the starting time of their next scheduled workshift.
(a) Lack of such notice for such work shall be considered call-back and shall result in a penalty of three hours of pay at the basic salary in addition to all other compensation due. This penalty shall apply to each call.
(b) The appointing authority may cancel a call-back notification to work extra hours at any time but cancellation shall not waive the penalty cited in this subsection.
(c) These provisions shall not apply to the mid-shift interval in a split shift and an employee called back while in standby status.
(2) Nonscheduled, exceptions, and law enforcement work period employees are not normally paid for call-back. However, if the appointing authority deems it appropriate, those employees may receive compensation, not to exceed the penalty cited above, for call-back.
(3) In the Department of Corrections institutions bargaining unit, lack of such notice as provided in subsection (1) of this section shall not result in penalty of three hours of pay at the basic salary when such change in an employee's start time of their next scheduled workshift is a result of the employee signing up on a volunteer overtime sheet.
