Public Safety Telecommunicators Shift Changes Sample Clauses

Public Safety Telecommunicators Shift Changes. 1. The Chief of Police is permitted to change an employee’s regular shift assignment without incurring overtime by posting the change on the Police Department’s schedule. If an employee is not working for one or more days prior to 168 hours before the shift change is to be implemented, the Chief of Police or his designee shall make a reasonable attempt to contact the employee so as to notify the employee verbally of the scheduled change, or will attempt to leave a message for the employee. An employee required to work due to a schedule change for which less than 144 hours’ notice was provided will be paid at time and a half for each day of work within the 144 hour notice provision due to such schedule change at time and a half basis. Schedule changes with less than 144 hours’ notice will be posted on the work schedule. If the employee is not working at all prior to the schedule change (due to a vacation, for example), the Chief of Police or his designee will follow the procedures set forth above (verbal notification or, absent contact, attempt to leave a message). 2. In situations not covered by paragraph A of this article, an attempt will be made by management to notify the employee of the scheduled change, but it will be the responsibility of the employee to check the schedule prior to 168 hours. 3. The above notice requirement shall not apply to temporary overtime assignments. 4. Shift schedules will be posted four (4) weeks in advance. 5.
