Common use of FTO Clause in Contracts

FTO. Police officers assigned primary FTO responsibilities training regular full-paid trainees shall receive an additional four (4) hours pay per pay period at the officer’s straight time rate of pay extending from the pay period that the trainees are assigned until two successive pay periods following the completing of training. Police officers training reserves shall receive 2.5 hours of straight time compensatory time off for each forty (40) hours of training. Reserve comp time shall not be accumulated while receiving FTO premium pay. Police officers training in specialty assignments such as CID, Special Operations Section or similar assignments for the purpose of providing an overview of their function shall not receive compensation. Traffic motor officers that are official FTO’s for full-time regularly employed probationary officers, providing a traffic/DRE overview, will receive one (1) hour of straight time pay for every 10 hours of training provided unless they are serving as a primary FTO. Officers reassigned from specialized units to Patrol Division for temporary assignment as FTOs will receive the same compensation as outlined in the above reference to traffic motor officers. When a trainee is transitioned from one FTO to another FTO and the FTOs conduct a transitional meeting by phone, each FTO will receive a minimum of one (1) hour at the rate of one and one-half times the employee’s regular rate of pay. The value of conducting transitional meetings by phone shall be considered on an individual basis. If the FTOs meet in person for the transitional meeting, each FTO will be eligible for call back.
