<br />5 <br /> <br />A. Salary Steps for Rank of Police Officer and Police Sergeant <br /> <br />Except as regards to probationary unit members as set forth in the paragraph below, <br />advancement within the salary schedule specified for an employee’s classification shall be on the <br />basis of satisfactory service as evidenced by time in paid status for the requisite duration and a <br />written performance evaluation. A salary step increase for an employee who is entitled to such <br />an increase shall be effective at the beginning of the pay period in which the anniversary date of <br />appointment in such classification falls. <br /> <br />With regard to probationary unit members, advancement to step 2 shall occur upon completion <br />of the requisite period of time on the job (i.e., excluding paid and unpaid leave equal to or greater <br />than four weeks) and the successful completion of probation. Paid and unpaid absences of four <br />weeks or more shall extend the probationary period by a corresponding amount of time. <br /> <br />Upon promotion or other movement to a different employee group or bargaining unit within the <br />City, any unused, accrued rtim or comp time remaining in the employee’s leave bank/s shall be <br />paid off at the rate of pay immediately preceding the promotion or reassignment outside the <br />bargaining unit. <br /> <br />Section 7. Overtime Compensation & “Call-out” Pay <br /> <br />Overtime work is authorized time of one-quarter hour or more worked in excess of that period <br />considered as a full week’s work in the classification. <br /> <br />When first authorized by the Police Chief or designee, overtime worked shall be paid at the rate <br />of one and one-half times the hourly rate based on the employee's monthly salary. For the <br />purpose of overtime-minimum pay, “Required call out” is defined as an event for which an <br />officer’s assistance is required. With the exception of court appearances, the event referred to in <br />the preceding sentence is one that is not anticipated and therefore unscheduled and not <br />contiguous to the regular work shift. For required call out or court appearance on a normal work <br />day, a minimum three (3) hours' pay at the overtime rate will be paid for the first such call out or <br />court appearance, provided, however, that court appearances immediately before or after <br />scheduled duty hours shall be deemed an extension of the shift and the three hour minimum shall <br />not apply. Call out minimum pay would not be given in the case of posted and scheduled details <br />on an officer’s day off unless four (4) hours have elapsed since the officer last worked. Officers <br />would be paid for the actual time spent performing the scheduled activity. For required call out <br />or authorized work related appearance on a normal day off, a minimum five (5) hours' pay at the <br />overtime rate will be paid for each of the first two such call outs, provided, however, that a call <br />out on a normal day off immediately before or after scheduled duty hours shall be deemed an <br />extension of the shift and the five (5) hour minimum shall not apply. For court appearance on a <br />normal day off, a minimum five (5) hours' pay at the overtime rate will be paid, plus payment of <br />necessary and actual expenses. For court appearances that extend through the court's lunch <br />period and the employee is required to return on the same case that same afternoon, the <br />employee will be paid for that period of time at the overtime rate except for a one (1) hour lunch <br />period. At the employee's request, and with the approval of the Police Chief, compensatory time <br />off may be granted in an amount equal to one and one-half time the overtime worked in lieu of <br />pay. <br />
