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 one <br />(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 of a compensatory time off <br />request, the department will work with the employee to find a qualified <br />replacement 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 shifts. <br />In the future, the department may develop, at its own discretion, an <br />automated schedule that will contain this information. <br />b. If an employee volunteers and signs up to work for another employee <br />who has requested compensatory time off, that volunteering employee <br />will be held responsible for working that full shift without further <br />reminder. Employees who do not show up to work, or retract their <br />offer to replace another officer, may be subject to disciplinary action <br />and may not be permitted to volunteer to work in this manner in the <br />future. <br />6. The watch commander shall send out an e -mail message to all officers <br />requesting a volunteer to cover the shift by switching days off or working <br />on overtime. <br />7. When a compensatory time off request is made in a manner that does not <br />comply with this policy, and granting that request would unduly disrupt <br />the operations of the department, the department may deny that request. <br />6.
