Quick Tie-Up [Federal Railroad Administration] Law and Legal Definition
According to 49 CFR 228.5 [Title 49 – Transportation; Subtitle B -- Other Regulations Relating to Transportation; Chapter II -- Federal Railroad Administration, Department of Transportation; Part 228 -- Hours of Service of Railroad Employees; Subpart A – General], quick tie-up is “a data entry process used only when an employee is within 3 minutes of, or is beyond, his or her statutory maximum on-duty period, which process allows an employee to enter only the basic information necessary for the railroad to identify the beginning of an employee's statutory off-duty period, to avoid the excess service that would otherwise be incurred in completing the full record for the duty tour. The information permitted in a quick tie-up process is limited to, at a maximum:
(1) Board placement time;
(2) Relieved location, date, and time;
(3) Final release location, date, and time;
(4) Contact information for the employee during the statutory off-duty period;
(5) Request for rest in addition to the statutory minimum, if provided by collective bargaining agreement or local practice;
(6) The employee may be provided an option to enter basic payroll information, related only to the duty tour being tied up; and
(7) Employee certification of the tie-up information provided.”
