Time spent in changing clothes before or after a shift is not considered hours worked and is not compensable in any manner whatsoever. G. Shift Trades The practice of shift trading shall be voluntary on behalf of each employee involved in the trade. An employee must have supervisory approval prior to being allowed to trade shifts. The trade must be due to the employee's desire or need to attend to a personal matter and not due to the department's operations. The employee providing the trade shall not have his/her compensable hours increased as a result of the trade; nor shall the employee receiving the trade have his/her compensable hours decreased as a result of the trade. Any premium pay or other extra compensation will be waived for both individuals during the period they work for the other. Any hours worked beyond the normal work day will be credited to the individual actually doing the work. "Paybacks" of shift trades are the obligation of the two employees involved in the trade. Any dispute as to paybacks is to be resolved by the involved employees, and under no circumstances will the department be obligated for any further compensation whatsoever to any of the involved employees. The department is not responsible in any manner for hours owed to employees by other employees that leave the employment of the City or are assigned other duties. If one individual fails to appear for the other (regardless of the reason), the person who "traded in" will be listed as absent without leave and may be subject to disciplinary action. H. Early Relief The practice of early shift relief shall be voluntary on behalf of each employee involved in the relief. An employee must have the approval of the watch commander prior to being allowed early relief. The employee providing the early relief shall not have his/her compensable hours increased as a result of the early relief; nor shall the employee relieved early have his/her compensable hours decreased as a result of the early relief.
