Common use of Special Duty Work Clause in Contracts

Special Duty Work. Special duty is ordinarily reserved to members (Police Officers and Sergeants). All special duty will be posted and compensation rates shall be set as provided in Section 17.7. If special duty work has been posted for at least 72 hours (the current 72 hour rule) and has not been filled by the members, the Captain and Chief may be offered special duty work in non-supervisory positions at the prevailing special duty rate for Police Officers. If, after signing up for special duty work, a member is unable to fulfill the special duty work, the member may either trade with another member for the work or notify the Chief or the Captain who may work the assignment. When a trade occurs, the member who originally signed up for the special duty assignment must notify the Captain or the Chief of the trade and the new member who will be performing the special duty assignment.
