For Police Officers and Sergeants. Special event assignments that are known at least seven (7) days in advance that cannot be covered by regularly assigned officers or sergeants during a given shift, shall normally be staffed by seeking volunteers and assignments made in order of seniority, to individuals in the classification needed to staff the assignment, provided they have the requisite skills and ability to perform the work. Notwithstanding the above, the Department maintains the option of covering the special event by having officers stay later or come in earlier on their regularly assigned shift. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit the right of the Department, after seeking volunteers, to make a final assignment of work to the least senior officers and/or sergeants on an involuntary basis, should such assignment become necessary, or to assign a supervisor to cover the assignment. Further, nothing herein shall be construed to limit the right of the Department to assign special event or other work to supervisory personnel when supervisory presence is needed for a particular special event. For special events that are not known seven (7) days in advance, the Department, at its discretion, will use one or more of the following options: (1) seek volunteers to fill the shift or assignment if time permits; (2) offer the work utilizing the list provided in subsection 8(a) of this article; (3) offer the work to supervisory personnel; or (4) directly assign an officer or sergeant to fill the shift or assignment without using the list. Officers or sergeants who report as scheduled to cover a Special Event, but find that the event has been cancelled, shall receive three (3) hours paid at their regular rate for reporting as scheduled. This time shall not count as time actually worked. If the event occurs before the employee’s scheduled hours and is cancelled and the employee is not notified prior to leaving to work the event, the employee shall be compensated for those hours prior to their normally scheduled shift. If the Event immediately follows the employee’s regular shift and is cancelled prior to the employee’s completion of the shift, the employee shall not receive pay under this section.
