<br />6 <br /> <br />Compensatory time may be used, and replaced, without regard to frequency of use, as long as the <br />account balance does not exceed 80 hours. <br /> <br />In the event an employee is ordered by a magistrate to appear in court and does appear on a day <br />during which the employee has called in sick, the employee will be paid overtime at the rate <br />listed for court appearance, except that employees working the day shift shall not be paid <br />overtime, but the hours spent at the court appearance shall not be deducted from his/her <br />accumulated sick leave hours. <br /> <br />Section 8. Canine Pay and Assignment Differentials <br /> <br />A. Canine Pay: Police Officers assigned as canine handlers are required to care for their <br />assigned animal, which shall include grooming, feeding, exercising, training, bathing and all <br />other responsibilities associated with caring for a canine. Officers assigned as canine handlers <br />shall receive additional pay in the amount of five percent (5%) when the officer and dog are <br />certified as a team and are functioning and on duty as a team in police patrol. This amount is in <br />recognition of the additional time required to care for the animal during non-regular duty hours, <br />which the parties estimate in good faith as an additional two hours per week. This additional pay <br />will compensate Police Officers fully for caring for their canine during non-regular duty hours. <br />If the officer is unable to perform as a canine handler due to a non-work related injury or other <br />non-work related cause, for a period that exceeds 30 consecutive days, the five percent (5%) <br />additional pay will cease. It will be reinstated when the handler returns to full duty and is <br />functioning as a canine team. The stipend will also cease after 90 consecutive days should the <br />dog not be able to work due to an injury or other medical reasons. During the time the officer <br />and dog are assigned and perform in the program, the City will provide a separate monthly <br />maintenance allowance of two hundred dollars ($200.00) as reimbursement for housing, taking <br />care of and feeding the dog. In the event the dog cannot work due to an injury or other medical <br />reasons, the maintenance allowance shall continue for a period of up to ninety (90) calendar days <br />from the date of the dog's disability. If it is medically determined during this ninety (90) day <br />period that the dog will not be able to return to full duty, the maintenance allowance shall cease <br />as of the date of such determination. <br /> <br />B. Field Technician Pay: Police Officers acting in the capacity of Field Technicians shall be <br />paid an additional thirty dollars ($30.00) per day, while performing that duty. <br /> <br />C. Field Training Officer Pay: Police Officers acting in the capacity of Field Training <br />Officer (FTO) shall be paid an additional thirty dollars ($30.00) per day, while performing that <br />duty. <br /> <br />D. Bilingual Pay: Police Officers utilizing bilingual skills shall be paid an additional thirty <br />dollars ($30.00) per day while performing that duty. Bilingual skills shall be those certified in <br />advance of their performance by the Chief of Police as necessary to the operation of the <br />Department and confirmed by an appropriate testing process prior to compensation for such <br />services. Recertification of need and ability shall occur every three years. <br /> <br />E. Shift Differentials. Police officers and police sergeants assigned to work the patrol <br />division and who work a regularly assigned shift during which at least 50% of the hours are <br />between 1500 and 2400 hours shall receive an additional 3% of current base pay for the entire <br />shift.
