SECTION 6: Any employee who is ordered to duty but subsequently released prior to reporting shall receive pay for one hour, at the appropriate rate. SECTION 7: The Employer shall endeavor, insofar as it may be practicable, to make a generally equitable distribution of overtime work among employees within a classification and department who are capable of performing the available work satisfactorily. Employees who are offered overtime and for any reason refuse or fail to work, shall be credited with the overtime as if they had worked, for the purpose of overtime distribution. In the event that a sufficient number of employees are not available within the classifications for the overtime assignment, qualified employees from a different classification and/or department shall be offered the overtime work and the overtime opportunity shall be distributed as equitably as possible. SECTION 8: For the purpose of Section 7, it shall not be deemed practicable to distribute an overtime opportunity in strict accordance with the overtime lists where: (1) the Employer, in good faith, estimates that the opportunity consists of no more than one (1) hour of overtime work per man required, or (2) the opportunity arises during an emergency. In distributing overtime opportunities, the Employer or its representative shall not engage in a policy favoring an employee or employees, unless this Agreement required certain employees to work the overtime. SECTION 9: The Employer realizes that employees are permitted to schedule time off for vacations and paid holidays. The Employer will do everything reasonably possible including but not limited to offering overtime to see that the employee will get time off that is picked in accordance with department policy as established by the Chief of Police. The Employer will not cancel, except in an emergency, any time picked during the original vacation and paid holiday picks. The Employer also realizes that employees may take other vacation time and paid holidays that are not addressed above. In addition, time off is permitted in the form of overtime off and unused sick leave time off. The Employer will do everything reasonably possible including but not limited to offering overtime to see that the employee will get this time off except in an emergency, as long as this request does not fall into the category of being termed a short time request. For the purpose of this Agreement, a short time request is when there are ten (10) or less calendar days between the date requested off and when the request was made. Any time requested that is a short time request is subject to cancellation by the Employer during the ten (10) day period to include the requested date itself. To provide fairness to all employees, any form of time off requested and approved will not be canceled or changed without written approval from the Chief of Police or designee. 12
