Any disbursements made pursuant to this section shall be included and designated on the employee's paycheck as earned salary. D. Overtime Authorization: All overtime requests must have the authorization of a supervisor prior to the commencement of such overtime work. Where prior written authorization is not feasible, explicit verbal authorization must be obtained. Calls for service beyond the end of duty time are considered as authorized. An employee's failure to obtain prior approval may result in the denial of the overtime request. E. Shift Differential The City will pay $.50 per hour differential for the hour's worked from 12:00 a.m. through 5:00 a.m.; which is only available to those employees scheduled to work during those hours. F. Clothes Changing Employees are not authorized to wear their uniforms or any part thereof that is distinguishable as such unless on duty. Each employee is provided with a locker for his/her own personal convenience. An employee may or may not utilize the locker for storage and changing purposes at his/her own discretion. Nothing herein prevents an employee from wearing his/her uniform to and/or from his/her residence to work. 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. Standby: Police Management may, at its discretion, place a Dispatcher in an on-call status when, in its belief, it is in the best interest of the organization to do so. In the event that a Dispatcher is placed on-call, the employee will be compensated for a maximum of four hours, at time and one-half pay, for an on-call period that will be determined based on the employee's work schedule during that on-call pay period (e.g. the employee will be on- call during their days off from the time they leave after completing their last scheduled shift until they return to work on their next regularly scheduled shift, excluding any previously scheduled overtime shifts). Employees receiving on-call pay shall be required to wear a pager provided by the department, or leave a telephone number where they may be reached in the event that they are needed to report to work. Employees must be able to respond within one hour ofnotification during any on-call period. Page 10 of 18 CWA MOU expires 063007 3/7/2005
