OVERTIME SERVICE. All assigned, authorized or approved service outside or out- of-turn of an employee’s regularly scheduled tour of duty or work shift (other than paying police details), work week or hours of work, including service on an employee’s scheduled day off, or during his/her vacation, and service performed prior to the scheduled starting time of his/her regular work shift or tour of duty, and service performed subsequent to the scheduled time for conclusion of his/her regular work shift or tour of duty and including court time as set forth in Article VI, shall be deemed overtime service and paid for as such. Overtime service shall not include: A. An out-of-turn work shift or tour of duty, which is substituted for a regularly scheduled work shift, or tour of duty at the request of an employee (subject to Department approval). B. Swapped tour(s) of duty or work shift(s) between individual employees by their mutual agreement. Such swapped tour(s) of duty or work shift(s) shall be allowed, provided however that twenty-four (24) hours’ notice is given to the shift and the Sergeant or the Chief of Police and there is no cost to the Town, and the Town may monitor these agreements via a policy established by the Selectboard. It is understood that time off will be exchanged for time off; there will not be any monetary exchanges. In case of emergencies, the Chief of Police may waive the notice requirement. Officers seeking such “swaps” shall be responsible to the Town for coverage and any financial obligation arising out of the agreement between officers. Employees in the rank of Sergeant will only be permitted to swap tours or shifts with other Sergeants. Swapped tour(s) of duty by Officer(s) who are on the assigned overtime list shall be subject to having the swapped tour(s) of duty cancelled if there is a need to assign them an overtime shift. C. A change in the schedule of an employee who is shifted from one work shift or tour of duty to another work shift or tour of duty for a period of fourteen (14) or more consecutive calendar days.
