Scheduling of Overtime. In emergencies, or as the need of the service requires, police officers (sergeants or patrolmen) or communications officers may be required to perform overtime work. All such employees shall be given as much advanced notice as is reasonably possible of overtime work opportunities. Scheduled overtime shall be posted and distributed to all employees as equitably as practicable. Employees other than those required to work beyond their normal shift or tour of duty due to the exigencies of their work day (such as an accident) shall have the option of declining overtime offered; but in the event that sufficient personnel do not accept such offered overtime on a voluntary basis, or in the event of emergency situations, in the judgment of the Chief, or the Chief’s representative in executing the overtime job such additional employees as are deemed necessary by the Town may be required to work overtime on an assigned basis; it is agreed that such assignments will not be refused. All employees shall be afforded the opportunity to accept overtime service, but there will be no discrimination against any employee who declines to work overtime on a voluntary basis.
