compensatory time off request. 5. If an employee has provided sufficient notice of a compensatory time off request, the department will work with the employee to find a qualified replacement in the following manner: a. The watch commander will maintain a calendar of time off that has been requested in accordance with the guidelines listed above. Qualified employees will be allowed to volunteer to work these shifts. In the future, the department may develop, at its own discretion, an automated schedule that will contain this information. b. If an employee volunteers and signs up to work for another employee who has requested compensatory time off, that volunteering employee will be held responsible for working that full shift without further reminder. Employees who do not show up to work, or retract their offer to replace another officer, may be subject to disciplinary action and may not be permitted to volunteer to work in this manner in the future. 6. The watch commander shall send out an e-mail message to all officers requesting a volunteer to cover the shift by switching days off or working on overtime. When a compensatory time off request is made in a manner that does not comply with this policy, and granting that request would unduly disrupt the operations of the department, the department may deny that request. 8.5 Incremental Usage. Time off with pay to compensate for overtime worked may be taken in increments as small as one-half (1/2) hour. 8.6 No Effect on Other Benefits. Overtime work shall not apply to the earning of employee benefits (retirement, holidays, vacation accrual, sick leave accrual and employee insurance benefits), toward the completion of probationary period or to progression within a salary rate range. 8.7 Overtime Work to be Apportioned. To the extent that he is reasonably able to do so, the Police Chief shall arrange work programs to minimize overtime work; necessary overtime work shall be apportioned among employees of like classification and assignment. 8.8 Advance Compensation for Overtime. Time off with pay as compensation for overtime may not be granted or taken in advance of the overtime work for which the time off compensates. Before compensatory time off with pay may be taken, as herein provided, the overtime worked must have been recorded on official payroll records at or about the time the overtime work was performed. In the absence of such recording, no compensatory time off with pay will be permitted. 29 65D-37
