What do we call the time a train employee is no longer performing covered service?

The term for the time a train employee is no longer performing covered service is referred to as "Relieved Time." This period indicates that the employee has completed their assigned duties and is officially off the clock, which is crucial for maintaining appropriate work hours and ensuring that employees receive the necessary rest.

Understanding this concept is vital for workforce management within train operations as it relates to employee scheduling, safety protocols, and compliance with labor regulations. By properly identifying and managing Relieved Time, transit authorities can ensure that their personnel are fit for duty and able to perform safely and effectively during their operational shifts.

Other terms such as Deadhead Time, typically refers to periods when employees are traveling to or from their assigned duties without performing active services, which, while relevant in discussing employee movement, does not capture the essence of being officially off-duty as indicated by Relieved Time.
