Common use of Overtime Scheduling and Call-Out Clause in Contracts

Overtime Scheduling and Call-Out. The Department shall offer all non-emergency overtime opportunities (except for work in progress) to covered employees on a strict seniority basis. If it is necessary to hold an officer over from a prior shift or to call an officer in early from the next shift, selection will be requested by seniority. If no officer volunteers, and it should be necessary to order an officer to stay or report in early, then overtime will be ordered on the basis of reverse seniority. However, in no circumstances shall the same officer be mandated to stay and report in early, thereby causing the officer to work in excess of two continuous shifts. Seniority may be bypassed if assignments require special skill, ability and experience or involve work in progress. Should a violation of this Section be established through the grievance procedure, the sole remedy available to the aggrieved employee(s), absent a showing of repeated, intentional violation of this Article by the involved supervisor or manager, shall be to provide that employee(s) with the next available, reasonably similar overtime assignment(s).
