volunteer employee to sign for, on an overtime basis. The volunteer employee will only be <br />compensated in pay for the overtime worked at the overtime rate of one and one-half times the <br />hourly rate based on the employee's monthly salary. This process shall be consistent with the San Leandro Police Department sign-up procedures. <br /> In the event an employee is ordered by a magistrate to appear in court and does appear on a day 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 /> Section 8. Canine Pay and Assignment Differentials 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 other responsibilities associated with caring for a canine. Officers assigned as canine handlers 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 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 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 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 /> B. Field Technician Pay: Effective the pay period including the date of the City Council <br />ratification, Police Officers acting in the capacity of Field Technicians shall be paid an additional <br />forty dollars ($40.00) per day, while performing that duty. <br /> C. Field Training Officer Pay: Effective the pay period including the date of the City <br />Council ratification, Police Officers acting in the capacity of Field Training Officer (FTO) shall be paid an additional eighty dollars ($80.00) per day, while performing that duty. <br /> D. Bilingual Pay: Effective January 1, 2017, Police Officers utilizing bilingual skills shall be paid an additional one hundred eighty five dollars ($185.00) per month while performing that <br />duty. Bilingual skills shall be necessary to the operation of the Department and confirmed by an <br />appropriate testing process established by the City prior to compensation for such services. <br />Bilingual pay shall apply to the following languages: Spanish, Chinese, American Sign <br />Language, and other languages as determined by the Human Resources department. Recertification of bilingual skills shall occur every three years.
