Universal Citation: WI Admin Code ยง RR 2.02

Current through February 26, 2024

(1) The maximum daily charge against any one investigation is 8 hours per day.

(2) Charges are made on an hourly basis, computed to the nearest half-hour. The hourly charge for each employe is determined by adding to the individual's base hourly salary rate the cost of time off with pay and the cost of fringe benefits.

(3)

(b) If it is necessary to visit the offices of another state government department, any other government department or organization, state or federal, or any private organization to obtain information for the investigation, the time thus spent shall be charged against the railroad being investigated. If an investigation is made of affiliated interests, this likewise shall be charged against the railroad, the investigation of which necessitates the examination of the affiliate.

(4) No direct charges are made for the time of the commissioner and staff acting in a supervisory capacity.

(5) If on a trip, actual time reported on cases equals or exceeds the standard 8 hours per day and traveling time is likewise reported for that day, such traveling time is disregarded in making charges. However, if actual time reported on cases be less than the standard per day and traveling time also be reported, the difference between the time on cases and the standard is regarded as traveling time against those cases, provided that such difference does not exceed the hours of travel reported. The total of traveling time computed by such method for an entire trip is then prorated over those cases reported on that trip on the basis of the aggregate actual time reported for each and limited for each investigation by the standard day, except where over-time hours as provided in this chapter have been included in the chargeable time.

(6) When the office finds it necessary to engage the services of people, not members of its regular staff, for consulting advice or for particular projects arising out of investigations, the cost to the office of such services shall be chargeable to the railroad under investigation.
