Common use of Overtime Eligibility Clause in Contracts

Overtime Eligibility. Employees may volunteer for overtime assignments that they are qualified and eligible for, provided the overtime is not due to the employee’s own vacancy, and the employee would not have to modify his/her regularly scheduled shift to avoid working more than 16 hours in a 24 hour period. If the vacancy is due to an employee changing his/her scheduled work hours, or if his/her scheduled work hours would have to be modified in order to work the overtime and avoid working more than 16 hours in a 24 hour period, he/she may volunteer for that overtime assignment, but only after it is offered to all other eligible employees. Employees whose shifts begin or end within five (5) hours of the overtime assignment will be assigned only if other employees are not available in the required numbers. Officers may volunteer for overtime details while on approved vacation time or compensatory time off, provided the detail is not during the employee’s hours they requested to be off. Absent the existence of operational necessity, employees who are on compensatory time off, vacation, or sick leave will not be assigned overtime. The Department, absent operational necessity, will not assign overtime on those days off that are contiguous with the police officer’s vacation or compensatory time.
