The normal pay period will consist of six 12-hour shifts and one 8-hour shift. Shift date is determined by the start time of the shift worked. (B) Employees working a 12-hour shift will be allowed a paid 45-minute lunch break; employees working an 8-hour shift will be allowed a paid 30-minute lunch break. A paid 15-minute break during the first half of the shift and a paid 15-minute break in the second half of the shift will also be available to employees. Lunch break and shift breaks shall not be combined. The lunch break shall be taken as the workload and the Officer in Charge of the shift permit.

Day shift will normally work 0800 to 1600 hrs. on their short day, while night shift will normally work 2000 to 0400 hrs. on their short day. The normal start time of the short day may be shifted to cover manpower shortages that may occur due to scheduled time off, court appearances and training. (D) All employees assigned to 12-hour patrol shift work shall be granted one full three- day weekend off each 28-day period, unless mutually agreed upon by the employer and employee affected. The full three-day weekend may consist of scheduled pass days on Friday, Saturday and Sunday or Saturday, Sunday and Monday. (E) The initial 28-day scheduling sequence shall begin on Sunday, July 21, 2013. The 28-day period shall consist of two consecutive 14-day pay periods, which begin on a Sunday and end 14 days later on a Saturday. (F) A 28-day period is linked to the payroll system. Three-day weekends will routinely begin in one period and end in another. If a three-day weekend, consisting of three consecutive days off beginning on a Friday or Saturday, extends across the 28-day boundary, it shall be considered a full three-day weekend for the 28-day period in which the three-day weekend began. (G) An officer’s normal schedule will include two (2) three-day weekends in each 28- day period. If the Director, or his or her designee, schedules an officer to work on one of his or her three-day weekends, the other three-day weekend in the same 28- day pay period shall be considered a protected weekend. (H) The protected weekend may be either earlier or later in the month and is not established until the officer is actually scheduled or ordered to work on one of his or her normal three-day weekends. At the time that shift or detail is placed on the schedule, the other three-day weekend becomes the protected weekend. Excepting voluntary assignments or emergencies, if an officer is scheduled or ordered to work on the protected weekend, then all hours worked during that three-day weekend shall be compensated at the rate of double time and a half (2.5X) base rate. (I) Corporals and Officers shall bid after Sergeants and shall bid for their shift and short day by seniority in classification. A probationary employee may not bid on shift assignments until the next bid process after completion of the probationary period. (J) The normal hours of the float shift shall be 1600-0400 hours, although the officer assigned to this shift may be reassigned to other hours to cover vacancies on other shifts, or changes in department staffing levels, as needed. The provision limiting a shift reassignment to 28-days does not apply to the officer assigned to the float shift.
