Subject: Agreement to Schedule Eight (8) Hours for Non-paid Rest/Sleep-time for Vocational Work Project Crews
Dear ,
The Idaho Department of Correction and this facility are notifying you of the policy on hours of work for vocational work project crews whose work assignment is more than 16 hours. This
would include, but is not necessarily limited to, fire crews working on-site while supervising offenders, during periods of emergencies where project crews work long hours, and other
similar situations requiring adjustments to project crews’ actual hours of work.
Project work crews will be paid for actual hours worked while on-site up to 16 hours maximum in a 24 hour period. You shall designate and schedule eight (8) hours (within each 24 hour
period) as rest/sleep-time, which will be excluded from hours worked. The eight (8) hours of scheduled rest may be used for your own purpose and benefit; however, you are encouraged
to utilize that time as a rest period, and for personal business such as hygiene, meals, and similar issues.
If you are directed by a Department-designated authority to return to duty during your rest period, you will be compensated for that additional time. However, returning to work during
your eight (8) hour rest period is not discretionary on your part; you must be called back to duty by your supervisory authority. Additionally, if you are on scheduled offender supervision
duties during the scheduled eight (8) hour rest period, and therefore not allowed to utilize your eight (8) hour rest period, time worked in excess of 16 hours will be coded as ACT
(actual hours worked).
Your signature on this letter of notification indicates your acceptance of this change in scheduled hours of work for the vocational work project crews. Your refusal to accept the terms
and/or sign this agreement will result in your return to security duties at the institution and your removal from the team. Refusal to accept the terms of this agreement shall make
you ineligible for future assignment to the project crews.
