Days Off. Officers will request days off as Scheduled Days Off (SDO) at the planning meeting. Supervisors may deny requests for days off to provide for and schedule patrol priorities. When the supervisor has approved requests for SDOs, they may be cancelled by the supervisor within seventy-two (72) hours’ notice without incurring callback pay. If a SDO is cancelled with less than seventy-two (72) hours’ notice, the Department will compensate the officer in accordance with Section 41.17 of Article 41, Compensation. Additional hours worked on a cancelled SDO will be compensated at the regular rate of salary and will be part of the normal one hundred seventy- one (171) hour work period. Officers wishing to change a SDO must also provide seventy-two (72) hours’ notice to their supervisor. Approvals with shorter notice may be granted by mutual agreement between the supervisor and the officer. Cancellation of a SDO by the supervisor will not result in callback compensation. Officers that wish to adjust SDOs may request those changes in advance from their supervisor. Officers will normally work at least four (4) weekend days (Saturday or Sunday) each work period consistent with the twenty-eight (28) day detachment or unit plan as identified in Subsection B of Article 7.5. Normally, four (4) of the SDOs in a twenty-eight (28) day period will be weekend days; however, supervisors may approve additional weekend days off. Non-weekend days off will be consecutive unless otherwise selected by the officer. Officers who do not participate in the planning process may have their days off unilaterally set by their supervisor.
