Council adopts resolution setting two‑hour minimum for employees called in while on call
Summary
The council approved Resolution 2604 to revise employee on‑call pay: employees who are called in while on call will be paid for two hours or for the amount of time worked beyond two hours; council also noted a city starting wage of $15. Motion carried 3‑0.
Waverly’s city council approved Resolution 2604 to revise the city’s employee on‑call pay practice, establishing a two‑hour minimum payment when an employee is called in while on call.
During discussion the chair explained the change is intended to compensate staff who are summoned for short but disruptive call‑ins. A council member noted the current practice sometimes paid only for the brief time on site even though travel and interruption could consume much more of the employee’s time.
In the same discussion the council confirmed the city’s minimum starting wage is now $15. Committee member Dave moved to approve Resolution 2604; the motion was seconded and carried 3‑0.
Why it matters: The change affects budgeting for overtime and on‑call costs and is intended to make responding to after‑hours calls more equitable for employees.
The resolution was adopted; staff will apply the payroll change to future on‑call incidents.
