Additionally, the parties added language clarifying that the Chief determines and schedules all shifts in <br />accordance with departmental policy and operational needs, with employees submitting shift preference. <br />Article 7, Overtime/Extra Duty/Call Out <br />The parties revised this language to delete the overtime bank under the existing contract language and <br />integrate it into a new article addressing compensatory time. <br />The parties revised language to eliminate daily overtime where an employee has utilized sick leave during <br />the applicable work week or work period, depending on what the employee is assigned to work. As a result <br />if an employee works excess hours beyond the normal schedule, but also utilizes sick leave, the overtime <br />hours are considered straight time until the hours spent on sick leave are made up. <br />In Section 2, the parties agreed to language that says when a court appearance is made virtually without <br />reporting to the station, a minimum of one (1) hour shall be paid at time and one-half (1 1/2). <br />NEW Article 8, Compensatory Time/Scheduling Time otf <br />This article integrates all of the prior CBA language concerning overtime banks and compensatory time <br />into a single article based on the limitation contained in FSLA. Under the new language, the separate OT <br />bank is eliminated. The balances in the existing bank would be brought over into the compensatory time <br />bank (provided it would be less than the 480) max or paid out. Anything above 480 is automatically <br />liquidated and paid off. In the future, 480 will be the maximum cap permissible which is consistent with <br />the FLSA. <br />The parties also added language that explicitly preserves the Employer's rights to manage the <br />administration of compensatory time under federal law, which includes, but is not limited to, the payment <br />of banks. <br />When an employee's rank is changed, comp time in excess of one hundred twenty (120) shall be paid out <br />at the applicable rate. <br />The parties deleted language that said the Employer will do everything possible to see that the employee <br />will get to use their time off except in emergency situations. The parties agreed to replace this language <br />with language stating that the Employer will not unreasonably deny time off requests. <br />Article 9, Wages & Compensation <br />The parties deleted old language relating to the last contract's increases. The parties agreed to the following <br />wage increases, which are consistent with the increases already approved with the City's AFSCME CBAs: <br />2024 4.0% <br />2025 3.0% <br />2026 3.0% <br />The hourly rates reflected in the Agreement reflect roll-in/supplemental of monies that were agreed to by <br />the parties and general wage increase amounts that were negotiated and approved. <br />In Section 4, the parties agreed that S.R.O. shall receive the Detective stipend of $1,700.00 annually, paid <br />biweekly. <br />2 <br />488]-1988-]813, v.2 <br />
