Except for overtime that is the result of the Police Officer being required to appear in court for Court Time; overtime that arises on the beats that is of an emergency nature; and overtime that arises as a result of a detective being assigned to a particular case, all other overtime shall be distributed as evenly as is reasonably possible among the Police Officers in the appropriate Bureau, Section or Unit.
Overtime in FOD, other than the exceptions cited in the current language, shall be equalized city-wide by assigned shift. The police administration agrees to try this for a twelve (12) month period. At the conclusion of the twelve (12) month period, both the TPPA and police administration may opt out of the trial program. If either side decides to exercise this option, the overtime equalization will return to the process previously used.
