<br /> <br /> <br />TO: Mayor Keis and Members of City Council <br /> <br />FROM: Bill Dircks, Public Works Director <br /> <br />DATE: March 20, 2017 <br /> <br />RE: Bryce Shearen On-Call Pay <br /> <br />Mr. Shearen has agreed to continue carrying the on-call pager for the Public Works Department while <br />the new hire gets trained and comfortable with being on call (I did this when I transitioned from <br />maintenance to Superintendent in 2005). <br />Rather than work with an hourly wage staff has determined that a flat fee for carrying the pager will be <br />easier. To that end, staff recommends that Mr. Shearen be compensated $200 per seven-day week that <br />he carries the pager. If he gets called out staff recommends he be compensated at $82/two-hour <br />minimum call out and $41/hour for time worked over two hours. If Mr. Shearen does not carry the <br />pager for a full week his on-call pay will be prorated. All of the above amounts were figured using Mr. <br />Shearen’s current public works hourly wage of $27.76. <br />These figures were all arrived at based on the emergency on-call policy, which states that Public <br />Works employees are paid one hour extra per day at their hourly wage to carry the pager. There is a <br />minimum 2-hour callout for any call they have to respond to and they are paid at their time-and-a-half <br />rate for the two hour call out and any additional hours they are needed. <br />Mr. Shearen will only be on call when it is his turn in the rotation and will not substitute for other <br />employees. Mr. Shearen will cease being a part of the on-call rotation as soon as the new hire is ready <br />to be on call or on October 1, whichever happens sooner. <br /> <br /> <br />11
