1. The undersigned agree that employees employed by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans at a fish hatchery who are required to be on standby status at a fish hatchery instead of their residences for the purpose of carrying out duties related to emergency service shall not be entitled to be paid in accordance with Article 30, Standby, in this Collective Agreement.
2. In lieu, it is agreed that employees employed by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans at a fish hatchery to which paragraph 1 refers will receive the following compensation for standby status:
   • 2.01
     1. four (4) hours pay at the employee's regular straight-time rate of pay, for each eight (8) consecutive hours or portion thereof that the employee is designated as being on standby status at a fish hatchery;
     2. overnight bachelor bunkhouse accommodation will be provided by the Employer at no cost to the employee;
     3. supper and breakfast will be provided by the Employer at no cost to the employee.
   • 2.02
     • An employee designated by letter or list for standby status at a fish hatchery shall be immediately available at the fish hatchery during the period designated as the standby period. In designating employees for standby status, the Employer will endeavour to provide for an equitable distribution of such duties.
   • 2.03
     • This payment shall apply only once within each eight (8)-hour period that the employee has been designated for standby status.
   • 2.04
     • No standby payment shall be granted if an employee is unable to report for duty when required.
   • 2.05
     • An employee on standby at a fish hatchery who is called in to work and who reports for work immediately shall be compensated in accordance with the call-back provisions of this Agreement.
   • 2.06
     1. Payments earned under this Appendix shall be compensated in cash except where, upon request of an employee and with the approval of the Employer, or at the request of the Employer and the concurrence of the employee, payments may be compensated in equivalent leave with pay.
     2. Compensatory leave with pay not used by the end of a twelve (12) month period, to be determined by the Employer, will be paid for in cash at the employee's hourly rate of pay as calculated from the classification prescribed in the certificate of appointment of his or her substantive position at the end of the twelve (12) month period.
3. The overtime provisions of Article 28 and the provisions of Article 27, Shift Premiums do not apply during those periods an employee is on standby status at a fish hatchery.
4. The Public Service Alliance of Canada agrees it will not support any grievance arising out of this Collective Agreement whose provisions are amended by this Memorandum of Understanding.
5. It is expressly understood that the terms of this Memorandum are intended to allow for the particular circumstances of the fish hatcheries. Neither party to this Memorandum shall rely on this initiative as a precedent to justify similar arrangements for other units or in any other location of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans during the lifetime of this Memorandum.
6. This Memorandum does not apply to employees employed by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans at a fish hatchery residing on site at a fish hatchery.
