Overtime Preference. For the purpose of selecting and working overtime department seniority will be used for the Patrol Division and date of promotion seniority will be used for the Investigative Division. The first choice to work an overtime activity shall be the most senior employee within a bureau, shift, division, or detail that has primary responsibility for the activity. Overtime selection will be based on seniority in the following order of priority: (1) current shift scheduled off, (2) others scheduled off, (3) splitting shift between those working. An employee who has a specific area of job concentration, specialized training or primary work assignment will always be given first opportunity to work the overtime assignment. If a senior employee is not offered overtime according to this paragraph, they will be compensated for the hours missed without being required to work replacement hours. If exigent circumstances or an immediate need to assign personnel arise then the Sheriff or his designate may disregard the overtime selection process, if the situation will not allow time for the selection process to be used.
