This amount shall increase by the negotiated Cost of <br />Living Adjustment (COLA) on the first of every January. <br /> <br />Section 8: Telephonic/Electronic Device Responses <br /> <br />An employee who has been authorized by the department head or designee to respond after hours <br />telephonically, by computer or other electronic device in order to perform work related job duties will be <br />paid according to the following schedule: <br />Employees who are not on standby but who are required by the Employer to respond to work-related <br />issues. Responses to after hour questions will be paid for time actually spent resolving the issue rounded <br />to nearest fifteen (15) minute increment, paid at the overtime rate. <br /> <br />A.
