Employees who work on the eight (8) major holidays shall be compensated twelve (12) hours at their regular straight time rate for having worked on those days. The eight (8) major holidays for which such additional compensation shall be paid are: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, Easter Sunday, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
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.
Police Officers may refuse overtime. However, when it is imperative that the overtime be worked then a sufficient number of Officers shall be required to work the required overtime. When it is necessary to require a Police Officer to work overtime the Police Officer with the least seniority within the assigned Shift or Bureau shall be scheduled to work.
In situations involving a special event where substantial numbers of officers are required to work on an overtime basis, and there is adequate planning time available, the following Special Event Recall Procedure will be utilized:
A request for volunteers will be distributed to the entire Department. Any officer who has a complete uniform, is fit for duty and whose regular assignment will not interfere with the overtime assignment, may volunteer to work.
In selecting officers to work this voluntary overtime, Department seniority will be used. First preference will be given to Officers regularly assigned to the Field Operations Bureau. If not enough officers have volunteered from the Field Operations Bureau, volunteers from the other bureaus will be used for the remainder of the positions.
If there are not enough volunteers to fill all the required positions, the remainder will be filled by canceling days off of officers within the Field Operations Bureau, on a reverse seniority basis, from among officers whose regular assignment will not interfere with the overtime assignment.
Officers who are on a regularly scheduled vacation shall be eligible for voluntary recall; however, these officers shall not be ordered to work recall.
Officers may not trade days with themselves for the purpose of becoming eligible for recall.
Officers recalled will be paid at a rate of time and one-half (1½) for the hours worked and shall receive a minimum of four (4) hours.
Regular employees of the Department of Police shall be credited with sick days in accordance with the following formula: One and one-quarter (1¼) days shall be credited for each month of service, not to exceed fifteen (15) days per calendar year. Such days shall continue to accumulate at such rate without any maximum limitation.
An employee granted a Leave of Absence Without Pay for thirty (30) calendar days or more shall not accumulate sick pay during the period the employee is on such leave.
(A) Officers shall be credited with sick days in accordance with the following formula: one and one quarter (1¼) days shall be credited for each month of service, not to exceed fifteen (15) days per calendar year. Such days shall continue to accumulate at such rate without any maximum limitation. Provided the conditions of Section 2129.81, Termination and Severance Pay, have been met, unused sick leave accumulated to the time of termination shall be paid at the rate of one-half (½) for all such accumulated sick time up to two hundred (200) days and full pay for accumulated sick time in excess of two hundred (200) days.
An Officer who dies as the direct result of injuries sustained in the course of employment with the City, or who is totally and permanently disabled as a result of injuries received under unusual circumstances which may arise in the performance of his law enforcement duties, shall receive payment for the full accumulation of sick pay at the time of death or retirement.
Officers who accumulated sick leave at a different rate prior to July 1, 2009 under the former "Plan B" shall accrue sick leave in the manner set forth above, i.e. 1 ¼ days shall be credit for each month of service, not to exceed 15 days per calendar year.
Officers who accumulated sick leave under former "Plan B" shall not be entitled to any retroactive application of this higher sick leave accumulation benefit. Sick leave balances that existed under the former "Plan B" shall be maintained as of June 30, 2009. There will be no retroactive application of the new sick leave rate to this balance.
(B) An employee who has 25 years of service credit may have up to 33% of his/her accumulated sick pay in excess of 1600 hours converted to compensatory time annually.
The sick pay selected under this program will be deducted from the total hours available at the time requested.
The employee who accepts accumulated sick pay under the provisions allowed in this section will not be entitled to paid extension of sick time effective with the acceptance of pay.
An employee shall be given bonus days provided he earned sick pay benefits in the previous year in accordance with the Bonus Day Table set forth below:

Sick pay is pay to the employee for the necessary absence from duty on a regularly scheduled work day because of illness, injury or exposure to contagious disease not in the course of his employment, or illness in the employee's immediate family that necessitates the employee's absence from work or would result in serious hardship to his family. Attendance to the immediate family member at a hospital while undergoing serious medical attention shall be included under this provision.
Sick pay shall be made for illness or injury incurred as a result of outside employment. Sick pay is not to be made to any employee as a result of any action within the control of the employee such as intentional self-inflicted wounds, use of drugs, or alcoholic beverages, while committing a felony or other criminal action.
For the purpose of this section, immediate family shall include only the employee's father, mother, sister, brother, spouse or child or life partner. "Life partner" is one who meets the criteria set forth in the parties' memorandum of understanding in that regard. A "life partner" relationship must have been pre-certified by the Department of Human Resources before "sick family" usage may occur. The family illness provision shall be for a limited period of time (not to exceed three (3) days) to enable the employee to secure other arrangements for the care of the member of his immediate family.
