All magistrate assistants must work a 35 hour work week. When a magistrate is scheduled to be "on-call," the magistrate's assistant is still required to work during regularly scheduled business hours. However, if the assistant is required by a magistrate to accompany the magistrate to the court after regularly scheduled business hours, the assistant shall be given credit for the time actually spent performing duties in assistance to the "on-call" magistrate. That credit shall be applied toward the assistant's next required 35 hour work week.
If a magistrate assistant has completed the assistant's duties on a specified day, it shall be the assistant's responsibility to assist in the magistrate court clerk's office, during regular business hours, performing the legal and administrative tasks set out in the relevant statutes and court rules. Work done by a magistrate assistant in the magistrate court clerk's office shall be performed at the direction of the magistrate court clerk or their designee.
