36 Local 21/SLCEA Memorandum of Understanding January 1, 2025 – December 31, 2029 will ensure that a current standby list is maintained at all times. Sign-ups will be conducted as often as necessary to keep the standby list current. Public Safety Dispatchers assigned to the communications center will sign up by seniority. Each dispatcher will sign up for days that encompass their off-duty period. Dispatchers may trade standby assignments with the approval of a supervisor. Upon notification, the dispatcher will call the communications center as soon as possible, within a maximum of forty-five (45) minutes. The standby dispatcher will be advised of the shift and time they are to report for duty. Standby dispatchers are to remain in a condition and location that will allow them to respond in a timely manner to the Police Department, fit for duty. A timely manner is defined as being at their duty station within one and one-half (1.5) hours. Failure to respond to the notification may result in disciplinary action. When it is determined that a shift needs to be filled, dispatch or the on-duty supervisor will do the following in sequential order. 1. Determine if on-duty personnel can cover the shift. 2. Call the remainder of the available personnel in order of seniority. 3. If no dispatcher is found to work the vacant shift, the standby dispatcher will be called. A Public Safety Dispatcher assigned standby duty may elect to take compensatory time off in an amount equal to the applicable hourly compensation for standby pay. For required call out or court appearance on a normal workday, a minimum of two (2) hours pay at the overtime rate will be paid for the first such call out or court appearance, provided, however that court appearances immediately before or after schedule duty hours shall be deemed an extension of the shift and the two (2) hour minimum shall not apply. For required call out or authorized work related appearance on a normal day off, a minimum four (4) hours pay at the overtime rate will be paid for each of the first two (2) such call outs, provided, however, that a call out on a normal day off immediately before or after scheduled duty hours shall be deemed an extension of the shift and the four (4) hour minimum shall not apply. For court appearance on a normal day off, a minimum four (4) hours pay at the overtime rate will be paid, plus payment of necessary and actual related expenses. For court appearances that extend through the courts lunch period and the employee is required to return on the same case that same afternoon, the employee will be paid for that period of time at the overtime rate except for a one (1) hour lunch period. At the employee’s request and with the approval of the Police Chief, compensatory time off may be granted in an amount equal to one and one-half times (1.5x) the overtime worked in lieu of pay.
