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