Home My WebLink About000599 Original ContractMemorandum of Understandine between the City of Po And the Teamsters Union. #589. Sworn Officers Unit This memorandum outlines the 4/11 shift schedule. This MOU is being entered into by the Sworn Police Officers of the Port Angeles Police Department represented by Teamster's Local #589, further referenced as employee(s), and the City of Port Angeles, further referenced as The City. The language in this MOU only applies to employees who are working the 4/11 shift schedule. Patrol is the only division in the Police Department whose work schedule has been proposed to move to the 4/11 schedule. All employees that are not working the 4/11 shift schedule will refer to the language in their current union contract. If at any time either party determines that the 4/11 shift schedule is no longer going to be utilized then all contract language will revert back to the current union contract after the transition back to 8 -hour shifts. This MOU will go into effect for the 2013 work year, with a reassessment of working conditions /operational needs after the first 6 months. Continuation of the 4/11 shift schedule will be by mutual agreement of both parties. Both parties enter into this agreement with the understanding that unforeseen issues relating to the 4/11 shift schedule can be brought forward at anytime for further discussion or clarification. Any changes made to this MOU after it has been incorporated will be by addendum. Shift Biddine: Start times and teams will be determined by the Chief of Police or his designee. Employees will bid annually for start times in order of seniority on their assigned teams. Employees will bid one day shift time slot and one night shift time slot on their assigned team. Employees will rotate from day shift to night shift as close to the halfway point of the work year as possible. Work Week: The regular work week shall consist of five (5) eight (8) hour days with two (2) consecutive days off or, in the alternative, four (4) ten (10) hour days with three (3) consecutive days off, or four (4) eleven (11) hour days with four (4) consecutive days off. Alternative shifts may be adopted and utilized based upon mutual agreement of the City and the Employee. Each work day shall include a 30 minute paid lunch and two (2) fifteen (15) minute rest breaks. The maximum number of hours an employee may work shall be 13 hours in a work day, or 65 hours in a work week, except in emergency conditions as determined by the Police Chief. Extended Shift Adiustments: Seven (7) days advance notice will be provided to changes to an employee's established schedule, unless an emergent police situation requiring a reallocation of personnel exists or a reassignment of personnel due to illness, injury, suspension, resignation or termination of commissioned personnel with less than two weeks notice occurs. City of Port Angeles Record #000599 An employee who is required to report back to duty on a new schedule without seven (7) days advance notice and prior to completing a scheduled four days off shall receive overtime for that portion of the work week worked which falls during the previously scheduled four days off. The minimum notification period may be waived by the affected employee. This section does not apply to employees that are called in to cover unscheduled overtime (i.e. Sick leave). Mandatory Trainine Days: Employees working the 4/11 patrol schedule will attend at least six (6) mandatory training days or assigned detail work throughout the year, in addition to their regularly scheduled work days. Theses training days will be assigned based on the agency's needs. Training days will not fall on the employee's calendar weekend (Saturday /Sunday) and will be scheduled on the employees' last regularly scheduled day off. These days will be scheduled no later than 30 days in advance and shall not be included in the calculations of an employees work week for purposes of overtime. These days are used to get employees to the 2080 hours that are required of a full -time employee for the work year. Full time employees are required to work 2080 hrs in a work year. Training days will be scheduled in advance and are considered part of the employee's regularly scheduled work week during the weeks they occur. These training days shall be paid at regular pay scale and shall not be included in calculations for purposes of overtime. Overtime: All work performed by employees in excess of eleven (11) hours in the same work day or in excess of 44 hours in the same work week shall be compensated at the overtime rate. Any time worked on a scheduled day off shall be compensated at the overtime rate excluding the training days as identified above. A twenty four (24) hour day, for application of this provision shall be from 2400 to 2400 hours. Any hours worked prior to the expiration of ten hours between shifts for patrol officers shall be paid at the overtime rate. The employer may cover employees performing law enforcement activities under special overtime provisions as identified in the Port Angeles Police Department Policy Procedure Manual, Policy 1038, Overtime Payment Requests. When overtime arises for situations that were unplanned (i.e. Sick Leave) the overtime will first be offered to the employee(s) that are scheduled to be getting off or coming in first to work. If neither employee volunteers to cover the overtime then it will be offered to all employees on their days off in descending seniority. If no employee on their days off volunteer to cover the overtime then the overtime will be assigned to the employee(s) on shift in ascending seniority. Exemntion: If an employee is required to report to the employee's scheduled shift within ten (10) hours of working his or her previously scheduled shift, then the employee shall earn pay at the overtime rate until a ten (10) hour or more period of time falls between the employee's scheduled shifts. Employees may flex their shift forward by two hours in lieu of overtime if adequate road coverage permits and at the approval of their supervisor to allow for the ten (10) hours of rest between shifts. The intent of the ten (10) hour rule is to economically support allowing officers at least a ten (10) hour period between working scheduled patrol or detective shifts. It does not invoke paying overtime when personnel attend training or meetings between shifts or under emergency circumstances such as barricaded suspects, riots, major crimes, and disasters. This sub section does not apply to necessary in- service training including but not limited to the following: First Aid/CPR; BAC certification and refresher; firearms qualifications, practice and training; defensive tactics; blood and airborne pathogens; supervision; emergency vehicle operation; criminal law updates (arrests, search and seizure, vehicle stops, etc); instructor certifications and re- certifications; and staff /department meetings. K -9 Officers: An employee assigned as a K -9 handler shall receive sixty (60) minutes of dog maintenance time per shift. This time will either be paid at the officer's overtime rate of pay, or if staffing allows the officer can adjust their start or end time one (1) hour. If the officer chooses to move their start/end time they will still be compensated for eleven (11) hours. Holiday pay: If an employee is scheduled to work on a holiday, the employee shall receive pay at the rate of time and one -half for all hours worked on the holiday. All hours worked on a holiday in excess of eleven (11) hours shall be paid at the double time rate. When an employee is called back to work on a holiday for which he was not previously scheduled to work, all hours worked shall be paid at the double time rate. This Agreement shall be effective January 1, 2013, and shall remain in force through December 31, 2013, and shall remain in effect during the course of negotiations of a new Contract.
