15-59. Q: A Reserve has an actual sit time of three (3) hours. How is the Section 15.E.2 sit time paid?

A: The Reserve will be paid fifteen (15) minutes above guarantee.

Straight from the contract. You guys are morons.

Also the sit time gets absorbed into reserve guarantee so since I also have cqt this month, there is no way I can break guarantee this month so that sit time I had to endure didn't actually cost the company anything and I see no financial benefit for it.

Isn't sit time paid over guarantee?

Paystubs still show the SIT pay, but it is absorbed into your reserve guarantee unless you go over it. They make it very confusing on your paystubs so it seems like you are getting it but you really aren't. If you did get it and not misreading your paystub then you just got lucky as the other poster said.
