(A) Any non-exempt employee who has left his normal place of work for his residence and is called back for emergency or overtime work, shall be paid for such overtime work in accordance with § 33.054 of this subchapter; provided that he shall receive a minimum guaranteed payment equivalent to three hours of pay at the overtime rate of time and one-half; provided further, that an employee who is called back for overtime or emergency work and who completes the required task and returns to his residence within the three-hour minimum guarantee may be called back for additional emergency or overtime work without an additional three hours minimum work guarantee.
(B) It is the purpose and intent of this section to assure an employee of at least three hours of pay at overtime rates for the inconvenience of being called back to work between the normal shifts, but not to be separately paid for several call-backs within the three-hour minimum guarantee period.
(C) Any employee who is called in one hour or less prior to the start of his normal shift shall receive such time at the overtime rate, but is excluded from the three-hour minimum guarantee outlined in division (B) of this section.
(D) Departments may schedule employees to start their next day's shift at a time earlier than the regular time without extra compensation under the call-back provisions of this section, provided such change in schedule is made prior to the completion of the shift the preceding day.
(E) Exempt employees shall not be entitled to call-back pay unless such call-back pay is part of a collective bargaining agreement.
