Common use of Shift Coverage Clause in Contracts

Shift Coverage. ‌ 1) Minimum shift for twelve (12) hour shifts shall be two (2) sworn personnel (e.g., Patrol Officer; Sergeant) per shift. If the University is unable to achieve minimum staff because a replacement is not immediately available to cover short staffing situations this circumstance shall not be subject to arbitration. 2) A uniformed officer may not leave the Officer’s shift until properly relieved. Proper relief takes place only when the incoming officer is present and in proper uniform. Pay for the relieving officer begins on the later of the scheduled start of the Officer’s shift or the Officer’s arrival on shift in proper uniform. 3) Patrol Officers will not routinely be assigned dispatch functions, but there may be circumstances where, at the discretion of the Chief/CMU PD, Officers will be assigned to assist in Dispatch on a temporary basis. 4) Special events may be covered with on-duty personnel at the Department’s discretion. 5) Economic or budgetary changes can lead to alteration of this order.
