ARTICLE 8

HELD AWAY FROM HOME TERMINAL

Employees in pool freight and in unassigned service held at other than the home terminal will be paid on a minute basis for the actual time held after the expiration of sixteen (16) hours from the time relieved from previous duty at a rate per hour of one eighth (1/8) of the daily rate paid them for the last service performed. If held sixteen hours after the expiration of the first twenty-four hour period from the time relived, they will be paid for the actual time held during the next succeeding eight hours, or until the end of the second twenty-four hour period, and similarly for each twenty-four hour period, thereafter.

Should an employee be called for service or ordered to deadhead after pay begins, held away-from-home-terminal time shall cease at the time pay begins for such service or deadheading.

When employees are deadheaded, their held-away-from-home terminal time will cease when the train on which deadheaded leaves the station from which deadheaded.

Payments accruing under this rule shall be paid for separate and apart from pay for the subsequent service or deadheading, except as provided in Article 24.

For the purpose of applying this rule, the Company will designate a home terminal for each crew in pool freight and in unassigned service.

INTERPRETATION:

While the held-away-from-home-terminal rule does not apply to assigned service, it is agreed that if the assignment is broken and/or a crew on an assigned run is used on a run other than their regular assignment, the held-away-from-home-terminal rule will apply. It is understood the held-away-from-home-terminal rule does not apply to assigned crews which get out late on schedule on trains which still represent their regular run, that is, have not been annulled on account of being more than twelve (12) hours late or for other causes.
