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 twenty-eight <br /> (28) day deployment period, whichever applies, or may elect to receive <br /> overtime 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. <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 seniority <br /> as long as minimum staffing levels are met. The replacement policy in <br /> Section 8.4(D)(4) 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 employee to find a qualified <br /> replacement when requesting the use of compensatory time off, if provided <br /> sufficient notice of a request for time off, the department will work with <br /> employees to find a qualified replacement. Sufficient notice and reasonable <br /> 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 /> compensatory time off request. <br /> 5. If an employee has provided sufficient notice to use compensatory time off, <br /> the department will work with the employee to find a qualified replacement <br /> in the following manner: <br /> a. The watch commander will maintain a calendar of time off that has <br /> been requested in accordance with the guidelines listed above. <br /> Qualified employees will be allowed to volunteer to work these <br /> shifts. <br /> b. If an employee volunteers and signs up to work for another <br /> employee who has requested compensatory time off, that <br /> volunteering employee will be held responsible for working that full <br /> shift without further reminder. Employees who do not show up to <br /> work, or retract their offer to replace another officer,may be subject <br /> to disciplinary action and may not be permitted to volunteer to work <br /> in this manner in the future. <br /> 28 <br />
