Forced Overtime. Forced overtime shall be defined as any time an Employee is forced to work other than the employee’s normal scheduled work hours and said shall be considered forced if the employee is not relieved within fifteen (15) minutes after start of the overtime. The Union will maintain the forced overtime list. When forced overtime is required, Command Staff will obtain the name(s) from the forced overtime list based on who is on duty. If there are questions or concerns about who gets credit for being forced or the order in which names are placed on the list, the Union will determine the appropriate resolution. When an employee works a forced overtime assignment, the Employer will provide notification by email to the Union. In lieu of being forced, Officers may find volunteers to work in their place and have the incident count toward their force as long as the volunteer does not count it as their force as well. If an Officer who is about to be forced has voluntarily worked at least 4 continuous hours of overtime within the past two weeks (14 calendar days excluding holidays as defined in your labor agreement), may ask that it be counted toward their force incident and will not be forced again until the next round. Individuals assigned to the Bullpen or External Transport will not be subject to forced overtime while assigned to those units.
