Hours of Work Work Schedules. Individual work schedules are defined as the number of hours worked per day and the number of days worked in a work cycle. The overall work day shall be defined as a 24 hour period of time from 7:00 a.m. to and including 6:59 a.m. the following day. Operations permitting, employees will be granted a paid meal period not to exceed thirty (30) minutes within their regularly scheduled shift, and the department will attempt to provide a fifteen (15) minute paid rest period during each four hour period of work. Hours of operation for specialty assignments as referenced in section 7.5 of this Agreement shall be determined by the Employer. The Employer will provide a minimum of seven (7) working days’ notice prior to revising work shifts for regular scheduled duties unless there is an exigency to meet the operation needs of the department. The Chief of Police will determine the number of Sergeants assigned to patrol or a specialty position. A PM and AM patrol shift will be established for Sergeants assigned to patrol. Half of patrol positions for Sergeants will be eligible for bid each year based on seniority in the Sergeant classification. Each year the Chief will present a schedule of patrol shifts eligible for bid no later than May 1st. Sergeants eligible for bidding to a patrol shift will submit a bid form provided by the department indicating their preference for the shift they desire to work by June 1st. All shift positions shall take effect July 1st. Sergeants assigned to a patrol shift based on an awarded bid will remain on the shift for one (1) calendar year unless emergency circumstances require changes to the shifts. Yearly bid positions will be determined by the Chief of Police with the exception of Sergeants who have been designated to hold specialty positions. Reporting and quitting times for employees in the Sergeant classification may be moved either way without affecting the defined workday. If the Employer wishes to modify reporting and quitting times on the applicable patrol shift, patrol Sergeants will be allowed to select, by seniority within the Sergeant classification, from the proposed schedule(s). Each patrol shift shall normally be covered by at least one Sergeant. If requested by the Chapter, the Employer agrees to meet and discuss the availability of bid positions. Probationary Sergeants will be assigned based on the operating needs of the department and are not eligible to participate in the annual shift bid process until after they successfully complete their probationary period.
