the position to which the requesting officer is assigned. <br />a. Compensatory time off requests made for consideration during the <br />monthly scheduling meetings will be treated as any other time off <br />and granted only on the basis of seniority. <br />b. Pursuant to the 3-12 Operating Rules, officers may trade work <br />days with other officers within the 28 -day deployment period. <br />Any trades must be approved by the affected Commanders and the <br />Field Operations Bureau Commander. <br />2. When an employee submits a request to take time off using accrued <br />compensatory time and the officer deployment is above minimum staffing <br />for the day requested, then the request will be granted without further <br />conditions. However, if the number of officers scheduled to work on the <br />day(s) of the request is at or below minimum staffing as defined by the <br />department, the compensatory time off request will be granted only if a <br />qualified replacement has volunteered and committed to work the <br />assignment left open by the request for time off. The volunteer may <br />exchange days off with the requesting employee within the 28 -day <br />deployment period, whichever applies, or may elect to receive overtime <br />compensation. <br />3. Requests for use of compensatory time off during holidays as defined by <br />this MOU, must be submitted in time to be considered during the monthly <br />scheduling meeting held by bureau and division commanders for the <br />upcoming month. These, requests will be considered by seniority and will <br />be granted only if officer deployment is above minimum staffing. The <br />policy of the department has been, and will continue to be, that <br />compensatory time off requested during a City -designated holiday will be <br />treated as any other time off request and will be granted in order of <br />seniority as long as minimum staffing levels are met. The replacement <br />policy in 8.4 DA below will not apply to compensatory time off requests <br />submitted for consideration during monthly scheduling meetings. <br />4. Although it is always preferable for the officer to find a qualified <br />replacement when requesting the use of compensatory time off, if <br />provided sufficient notice of a request for time off, the department will <br />work with employees to find a qualified replacement. Sufficient notice <br />and reasonable period will be defined as follows: <br />a. Seventy-two (72) hours' notice for one (1) day or less of time off <br />requested. <br />b. Five (5) calendar days' notice for more than one (1) workday up to <br />one (1) workweek. <br />C. Fourteen (14) calendar days' notice for more than one (1) week <br />28 <br />65D-36 <br />
