Salary Steps for Rank of Police Officer and Police Sergeant <br /> <br />With regard to probationary unit members, advancement to step 2 shall occur upon completion 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 />Section 7. Overtime Compensation & “Call-out” Pay <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 /> 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 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 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 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 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 /> The term "compensatory time" refers to that time earned and accrued by working overtime. <br />Compensatory time may be used, and replaced, without regard to frequency of use, as long as the account balance does not exceed 80 hours. Once an employee's compensatory time off balance <br />exceeds 80 hours, the employee shall be compensated in pay. <br /> <br />An employee may schedule accrued compensatory time and the Department will schedule a relief employee as available. If not available, the Department will post the vacancy for a
