What type of employee is eligible for ordered standby?

Ordered standby refers to a situation where employees are required to remain available to report for duty during certain hours, even if they are not actively working during those periods. It ensures that there are enough personnel readily available to respond in case of emergencies or special assignments.

Regular government employees are often entitled to specific rights and compensations, which typically include provisions for ordered standby. This type of employment often includes benefits and structures that support such arrangements.

Casual employees, while generally more flexible and on-call, may also be eligible for ordered standby depending on the specific conditions of their employment agreements. These employees are usually brought in as needed but can be required to be on standby under certain circumstances as well.

Since both categories of employees can be made available and called upon during ordered standby situations, the inclusion of both regular and casual employees as eligible recognizes the necessity of having a broader pool of personnel to respond quickly to incident-related demands. This policy helps ensure operational readiness and effective response capabilities during incidents.
