Common use of Double Overtime Clause in Contracts

Double Overtime. Double time (overtime) is defined as two (2) times the regular rate of pay. Double time rate does not apply to shift extensions, but does apply to “call back” situations, or when patrol officers are scheduled to begin their shift early, with less than 24 hours’ notice, otherwise the regular rate of overtime applies. Uniformed employees who are compensated with double time pay for filling an overtime patrol shift or extra duty assignment (having been provided less than twenty-four (24) hours’ notice) are not also entitled to the “call back” premium. for all instances of a vacancy that occurs in the next 30 days. If for some reason an overtime shift is not filled per the requirements of this clause, the double time rate of pay (emergency) clause would not apply. This Section, 5.13 – Double Time, shall not be considered status quo under this contract, but rather shall continue as a practice the parties will evaluate. The City shall provide a report to the Association at the end of each calendar year as to the prevalence and use of Double Time. The Parties agree to meet to bargain this issue at least six months prior to expiration of the collective bargaining agreement, and throughout successor negotiations.
