The Use of Compensatory Time. The accumulation and use of compensatory time shall be in accordance with the Primary Agreement.
The Use of Compensatory Time. Compensatory time shall be accrued at one-and one-half (1 1/2) times the hourly rate. Compensatory time credit may not exceed eighty (80) hours. Patrol Officers shall take compensatory time subject to the approval of the shift commander whose shift is affected by the absence of the officer taking a compensatory time. Officers assigned to the support services division shall take compensatory time subject to the approval of a commander of the support services division, or their immediate supervisor. Compensatory time cannot be taken when it will result in the staffing to be below minimum staffing or the creation of additional overtime, except in cases of personal emergency of the employee. Once the taking of compensatory time has been approved by a supervisor, it may not be revoked except in cases of emergency (e.g. an officer calling in sick thus reducing patrol staffing below minimum staffing levels is not considered an emergency).
