Outside Work Assignments. Assignments of work to be performed on open structures outside will not be made if weather conditions would make such work hazardous. Questionable instances of such assignments will be resolved on the basis of the decision of the Program Manager or Assistant Program Manager, or his/her representative and the circumstances involved. All employees shall have the right to challenge any work assignment that they deem hazardous.
Outside Work Assignments. Wherever possible, travel to outside work assignments should take place during regular hours of work. Time spent travelling to outside work assignments which would otherwise result in the payment of overtime pursuant to this article will be compensated at straight time. Time spent travelling includes associated waiting periods but not time in overnight accommodations. Training Courses or Professional Development Opportunities Wherever possible, travel to training courses and professional development opportunities should take place during regular hours of work. Where it is not reasonably possible for such travel to take place during regular hours of work and where the Employer provides support to an employee to attend a training course or professional development opportunity, time spent travelling which would otherwise result in the payment of overtime pursuant to this article will be compensated at straight time. For the purpose of this clause, support means either the partial or full payment of registration fees and/or reimbursement of travel expenses and/or accommodation expenses. Time spent travelling includes associated waiting periods but not time in overnight accommodations.
Outside Work Assignments. Employees may be given work assignments outside of their regularly scheduled hours and outside of the Police Department to support special events. All such assignments outside the Police Department shall be made by the Chief of Police, and compensation therefore will be at the employee's overtime rate for the employee's salary step and classification. Employees receiving educational incentive allowance and/or the detective differential shall receive such payments during outside work assignments. There shall be no additional compensation beyond the foregoing in the event an outside work assignment falls on a holiday. Payment for such outside work assignments shall be through the City payroll process, and employees will not be permitted to accrue compensatory time off in lieu of payment. Employees performing outside work assignments shall be responsible for preparing and submitting a time sheet detailing time worked.
