4.2.2 When detention occurs during a commodity operation, the Contractor shall absorb each detention of fifteen

(15) minutes or less. The government shall pay the Contractor at detention rates for persons or gangs, including clerks and equipment operators (drivers) for each detention in excess of fifteen minutes including the first fifteen minutes thereof.

4.1.2.1 Detention shall not be authorized for any part of a gang that is not required on commodity operations or when certain classes of labor on commodity operations are required to stand by because of another class of labor performing a commodity operation. For example, commodity vessel load is inclusive of loading and lashing cargo.

Gangs conducting the load & lash are inclusive of each other under one commodity rate; therefore, drivers or lashers during the process of load and lash may be waiting for the other to perform or complete their job. Neither party will be placed on detention while the other is performing commodity work.

4.1.3 Whenever detention occurs prior to or during extra labor operations, the Government shall pay the Contractor on a detention rate basis for the time of each detention. In the event part of a gang is required to perform an extra labor operation, the balance of the gang standing by shall be paid for at detention rates. In the event certain classes of labor are required to standby because of another class of labor performing an extra labor operation, such certain classes of labor shall be paid at detention rates.

4.1.4 In accordance with applicable collective bargaining agreements, minimum time shall be payable to the Contractor when work fails to materialize or when work is completed prior to the minimum time and shall not be payable (i) for checkers working in conjunction with longshoremen until completion of the longshoreman commodity activity; and (ii) for any part of a gang not required on a commodity activity. For example, rail unload operation is inclusive of unlash and unload of cargo under one commodity rate. Lashers finish the unlash portion are still on commodity until the drivers are complete with unload and stage to point of rest. During rail load, after drivers complete the load, they remain on commodity until lashers have completed all lashing. While one portion of the gang is on commodity, all are listed as commodity.

4.1.5 The Contractor must obtain pre approval to work overtime authorized by the COR.
