D. Use of Comp Time from the FLSA Comp Time Bank. 1. When an employee submits a request for time off using accrued compensatory time, and that employee has found a qualified replacement, the time off request will be granted. A qualified replacement means that the replacement officer or employee is able to fulfill the requirements of the position to which the requesting officer is assigned. a. Compensatory time off requests made for consideration during the monthly scheduling meetings will be treated as any other time off and granted only on the basis of seniority. b. Pursuant to the 3-12 Operating Rules, officers may trade work days with other officers within the 28-day deployment period. Any trades must be approved by the affected Lieutenants and the Field Operations Bureau Commander. 2. When an employee submits a request to take time off using accrued compensatory time and the officer deployment is above minimum staffing for the day requested, then the request will be granted without further conditions. However, if the number of officers scheduled to work on the day(s) of the request is at or below minimum staffing as defined by the department, the compensatory time off request will be granted only if a qualified replacement has volunteered and committed to work the assignment left open by the request for time off. The volunteer may exchange days off with the requesting employee within the 28-day deployment period, whichever applies, or may elect to receive overtime compensation. 3. Requests for use of compensatory time off during holidays as defined by this MOU must be submitted in time to be considered during the monthly scheduling meeting held by bureau and division commanders for the upcoming month. These requests will be considered by seniority and will be granted only if officer deployment is above minimum staffing. The policy of the department has been, and will continue to be, that compensatory time off requested during a City-designated holiday will be treated as any other time off request and will be granted in order of seniority as long as minimum staffing levels are met. The replacement policy in 8.4134 below will not apply to compensatory time off requests submitted for consideration during monthly scheduling meetings. 4. Although it is always preferable for the officer to find a qualified replacement when requesting the use of compensatory time off, if provided sufficient notice of a request for time off, the department will work with employees to find a qualified replacement. Sufficient notice and reasonable period will be defined as follows: 5 25A-9
