ARTICLE VIII 8.0 OVERTIME 8.1 General Policy for Overtime Work. Whenever it shall be determined to be in the public interest for employees to perform overtime work, or in an emergency situation, the City Manager, the Police Chief, or an authorized representative of the City Manager or Police Chief, may require an employee to perform overtime work. 8.2 Definition. A. Standard Work Period Overtime. Overtime for those employees assigned to the Standard Work Period shall be authorized or required time worked in excess of those hours assigned to their particular Standard Work Period Schedule workday or hours in excess of 40 hours per Work Period However, subject to Article 8.3 below, if an employee uses sick leave or personal necessity leave as provided for in this MOU in the same Standard Work Period in which he /she works hours in addition to his/her regular hours, the sick leave and /or personal necessity leave shall not count as work hours which shall mean that the additional hours worked shall be paid at straight time if they are less than or equal to the number of sick leave or personal necessity leave hours used in the Standard Work Period. The use of such leave hours shall not affect overtime earned in accordance with Article 8.16 of this MOU. B. Alternative Work Period Overtime. Pursuant to this MOU, employees assigned to the Alternate Work Period shall earn overtime for authorized or required time worked in excess of those hours assigned to their particular Alternative Work Period Schedule workday or hours in excess of his or her Alternative Work Period Schedule hours in a consecutive 28 day, 672 hour period. However, subject to Article 8.3 below, if an employee uses sick leave or personal necessity leave as provided for in this MOU in the same Alternative Work Period in which he /she works hours in addition to his/her regular hours, the sick leave and /or personal necessity leave shall not count as work hours which shall mean that the additional hours worked shall be paid at straight time if they are less than or equal to the number of sick leave or personal necessity leave hours used in the Alternative Work Period. The use of such leave hours shall not affect overtime earned in 27 accordance with Article 8.16 of this MOU. 8.3 Computation of a Workday and Work Period. Paid leave for holidays, vacation, and other time off with pay, except for sick leave and personal necessity, shall be credited towards the total time worked in computing a regular workday, and /or a work period, as defined herein. Sick leave and personal necessity shall not count as hours worked towards the total time worked in computing a regular workday and /or a work period. Work amounting to less than six (6) minutes shall not be considered time worked. Overtime worked for six (6) or more minutes shall be calculated in six (6) minute intervals. Leave without pay shall not be credited towards the total time worked in computing a regular workday, and /or a work period, as defined herein. 8.4 Compensation for Overtime. A. The preferable method by which overtime shall be compensated is by monetary payment, at one and one -half (1 1/2) times the employee's regular rate of pay. B. Should the Police Chief determine that the best interests of the City will be served thereby, he or his designee may permit an employee to be compensated for overtime work by earning compensatory time off at the rate of one and one -half (1 1/2) hours for each hour of overtime worked. This time, hereinafter identified as "comp time" shall be accrued as set forth below. C. There are two Comp Time banks. The first bank is the Non -FLSA Comp -Time Bank established under the 2013 -2015 MOU. Those employees hired after July 1, 2015 or those employees with less than 100 hours of Comp -Time at the time the banks were created will not have a Non -FLSA Comp -Time Bank. The second bank is the FLSA Comp -Time Bank. 1. The Non -FLSA Comp Time Bank can never have hours added to it. The hours in that bank can only be used as leave time and when using such leave will not cause the City to have to pay another employee overtime to fill behind the employee using the leave. The comp time in this bank cannot be cashed out during employment, only at the time the employee leaves City employment. If an employee uses the comp time in this bank during employment and exhausts the entire accrual in this bank, the employee's Non -FLSA Comp Time Bank will be closed as no additional hours may accrue into this bank 2. The FLSA Comp Time Bank has a maximum accrual of one - hundred (100) hours. An employee who has 100 hours in this bank will earn overtime paid at time and one half the employee's regular rate of pay for overtime earned in accordance with this MOU. An employee who works overtime and who has less than 100 hours in his/her FLSA Comp Time Bank maybe able to accrue hours (at the rate of 1.5 hours for each hour of Mi overtime worked) in accordance with subdivision (B) above. The Comp time in this bank can be cashed in accordance with the provisions detailed below. Each affected employee who has accrued comp time credits in the FLSA Comp Time Bank, may elect to convert up to twenty (20) hours of such accrued time each calendar year quarter to the cash equivalent thereof, to a maximum of eighty (80) hours per calendar year. D. Use of Comp Time from the FLSA Comp Time Bank. 1. When an employee submits a request for time off using accrued compensatory time, and that employee has found a qualified replacement, the time off request will be granted. A qualified replacement means that the replacement officer or employee is able to fulfill the requirements of the position to which the requesting officer is assigned. a. Compensatory time off requests made for consideration during the monthly scheduling meetings will be treated as any other time off and granted only on the basis of seniority. b. Pursuant to the 3 -12 Operating Rules, officers may trade work days with other officers within the 28 -day deployment period. Any trades must be approved by the affected Commanders and the Field Operations Bureau Commander. 2. When an employee submits a request to take time off using accrued compensatory time and the officer deployment is above minimum staffing for the day requested, then the request will be granted without further conditions. However, if the number of officers scheduled to work on the day(s) of the request is at or below minimum staffing as defined by the department, the compensatory time off request will be granted only if a qualified replacement has volunteered and committed to work the assignment left open by the request for time off. The volunteer may exchange days off with the requesting employee within the 28 -day deployment period, whichever applies, or may elect to receive overtime compensation. 3. Requests for use of compensatory time off during holidays as defined by this MOU, must be submitted in time to be considered during the monthly scheduling meeting held by bureau and division commanders for the upcoming month. These requests will be considered by seniority and will be granted only if officer deployment is above minimum staffing. The policy of the department has been, and will continue to be, that compensatory time off requested during a City - designated holiday will be treated as any other time off request and will be granted in order of seniority as long as minimum staffing levels are met. The replacement 29 policy in 8.4 DA below will not apply to compensatory time off requests submitted for consideration during monthly scheduling meetings. 4. Although it is always preferable for the officer to find a qualified replacement when requesting the use of compensatory time off, if provided sufficient notice of a request for time off, the department will work with employees to find a qualified replacement. Sufficient notice and reasonable period will be defined as follows: a. Seventy -two (72) hours' notice for one (1) day or less of time off requested. b. Five (5) calendar days' notice for more than one (1) workday up to one (1) workweek. C. Fourteen (14) calendar days' notice for more than one (1) week compensatory time off request. 5. If an employee has provided sufficient notice of a compensatory time off request, the department will work with the employee to find a qualified replacement in the following manner: a. The watch commander will maintain a calendar of time off that has been requested in accordance with the guidelines listed above. Qualified employees will be allowed to volunteer to work these shifts. In the future, the department may develop, at its own discretion, an automated schedule that will contain this information. b. If an employee volunteers and signs up to work for another employee who has requested compensatory time off, that volunteering employee will be held responsible for working that full shift without further reminder. Employees who do not show up to work, or retract their offer to replace another officer, may be subject to disciplinary action and may not be permitted to volunteer to work in this manner in the future. 6. The watch commander shall send out an e -mail message to all officers requesting a volunteer to cover the shift by switching days off or working on overtime. 7. When a compensatory time off request is made in a manner that does not comply with this policy, and granting that request would unduly disrupt the operations of the department, the department may deny that request. 9M 8.5 Incremental Usage. Time off with pay to compensate for overtime worked may be taken in increments as small as one -half (1/2) hour. 8.6 Excess Usage. If compensatory time off is used in excess of that available, such excess compensatory time off will first be deducted from any available comp time bank, vacation benefits and finally, deducted from the next scheduled wage or salary payment. 8.7 No Effect on Other Benefits. Overtime work shall not apply to the earning of employee benefits (retirement, holidays, vacation accrual, sick leave accrual and employee insurance benefits), toward the completion of probationary period or to progression within a salary rate range. 8.8 Overtime Work to be Apportioned. To the extent that he is reasonably able to do so, the Police Chief shall arrange work programs to minimize overtime work; necessary overtime work shall be apportioned among employees of like classification and assignment. 8.9 Advance Compensation for Overtime. Time off with pay as compensation for overtime may not be granted or taken in advance of the overtime work for which the time off compensates. Before compensatory time off with pay may be taken, as herein provided, the overtime worked must have been recorded on official payroll records at or about the time the overtime work was performed. In the absence of such recording, no compensatory time off with pay will be permitted. 8.10 Compensation for Overtime: Exclusions. Overtime pay or comp time shall be allowed an employee for attendance at conventions, conferences, seminars or the like, as long as prior authorization is received. Overtime pay or comp time pay shall be permitted only for attendance which is ordered on such employee's normal days off or for time beyond a normal workday's duration. Please refer to Santa Ana Police Department Training Bulletin 02 -07 for details. 8.11 Call- Back -Duty. A. Employees who are on call during their off -duty time due to their assignment (i.e., Homicide Investigators, Internal Affairs Sergeants, Crimes Against Persons Sergeants, etc.) and are called back to work will be paid for their travel time at the overtime rate from the time they leave their home until the time they return home, or until their regularly scheduled shift begins. Only that period of time devoted to work will be compensated. B. Employees who are ordered back to work while off -duty because of an emergency or other unforeseen event will be paid for travel time at the overtime rate from the time they leave their home until they return home, or until their regularly scheduled shift begins. Only that period of time devoted to work will be compensated. 31 C. Employees who are called at home and offered voluntary overtime work, and elect to accept the offer, will not be compensated for travel time in any manner. Similarly, employees who sign up for voluntary overtime, or who have advance notice that they will have to work during their off -duty time on an overtime basis, will not be compensated for travel time. 8.12 Accreted Overtime Paid Upon Promotions or Upon Separation. Upon an employee's appointment to a position in which overtime may not be earned or upon an employee's separation from employment with the City by resignation, retirement, layoff or otherwise, he or she shall forthwith be compensated for any overtime accumulated to the time immediately preceding such promotion or separation. 8.13 Court Appearance. Compensation for court appearance by personnel covered by this MOU shall be as follows: A. For each required court appearance made by an employee during his or her off - duty time in regard to City business, employees shall be paid overtime for the period of time from their arrival at court until they are released from court or the court session closes for that day.

It is the policy of the City to grant employees vacation leave in order to provide them with a break in their regular work schedule, and this purpose will be used as a guide in the administration of the provisions of this Article. 10.2 Vacation. A. Effective January 1, 2016, the regular and longevity vacation accruals of bargaining unit members shall be combined into one single vacation bank. The accrual rates will remain the same. However, after January 1, 2016 there will no longer be a reference to longevity vacation. Longevity vacation earned but not advanced in 2015 will be credited to the employee's vacation bank effective January 1, 2016. Thereafter, members shall accrue the combined vacation with pay on a monthly basis as set forth in the following table. Beginning Years Annual Vacation Accrued Monthly Accrual Rate 1 80 6.67 2 80 6.67 3 120 10.00 4 120 10.00 5 120 10.00 6 124 10.33 7 128 10.67 8 132 11.00 9 136 11.33 10 140 11.67 11 144 12.00 12 148 12.33 13 152 12.67 14 156 13.00 15 160 13.33 16 168 14.00 37 17 176 14.67 18 184 15.33 19 192 16.00 20 or more 200 16.67 B. An employee who has completed less than one year's service during the calendar year shall receive a proportionate fraction in accordance with the amount of service to his or her credit during the year; provided, however, no employee shall be entitled to, or receive payment for, any vacation until he or she has completed six (6) months of continuous service. C. On or after the first (1st) day of the month following completion of six (6) months of continuous full -time service, an employee may be allowed to take all or a proportionate fraction of his or her earned vacation, subject to scheduling approval of the employee's supervisor. D. Absence on sick leave for a period in excess of fifteen (15) consecutive calendar days shall not be considered as service for vacation accrual purposes. E. Computation of Vacation. 1. In computing vacation, each municipal holiday that occurs during the vacation, and that falls on a day which the employee would have worked had he or she not been on vacation, shall be deducted from the computation so that ten (10) additional hours of vacation shall be allowed to the employee unless departmental practice provides some other manner of compensating for municipal holidays. Should an employee be confined to a hospital for sickness or injury while on authorized vacation, each full day of such confinement, when confirmed by a physician's statement and approval of the Police Chief, may be deducted from the computation of vacation expended and charged against the employee's accumulated sick leave. 2. A period of earlier service does not apply toward vacation accumulation when an employee has had a break in continuous service, unless the break in service is concluded by reappointment, as provided in Section 9 -114 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code or by reemployment from layoff within one (1) year. Leave of absence without pay, as provided in Article XI, Section lE (Sick Leave - Extended) and Section 11.8 (Authorized Absence Without Pay - Long Term), Section 11.11 (Catastrophic Leave Donation) herein, does not constitute a break in continuous service as used in this section; however, the leave of absence period shall not be applied toward the accumulation of longevity vacation. Absence on military leave 11 followed by reinstatement, as provided in Section 9 -143 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code does not constitute a break in service, and the period of absence on such military leave shall be applied toward the accumulation of longevity vacation. F. Vacation Buy -Back. Employees covered by this MOU are eligible to require the City to buy -back up to sixty (60) hours of their banked vacation, computed on a straight time basis, once per calendar year. Additionally, any member who has taken a minimum of eighty (80) hours of vacation time off during the calendar year (not including the sixty (60) hours of allowed vacation cash -out) shall have the ability to require the City to buy -back an additional forty (40) hours of their banked vacation, computed on a straight time basis, once during the same calendar year that the leave is taken. 10.3 Longevity Vacation. A. Longevity vacation accrual shall be operative only through December 31, 2015. Effective January 1, 2016, vacation accrual shall be governed solely by Section 10.2 B. Each permanent employee is granted additional hours of vacation leave with pay for each computed year of full -time, continuous city service as set forth in the following table. This additional vacation shall be designated longevity vacation. Completed Hourly Equivalent Years of Additional Days 6 4 7 8 8 12 9 16 10 20 11 24 12 28 13 32 39 14 36 15 40 16 48 17 56 18 64 19 72 20 80 B. No employee becomes eligible for longevity vacation until completion of the sixth year of continuous service, and each employee continues to earn the maximum of 80 hours of longevity vacation for each completed year of service in excess of 20 years. C. A period of earlier service does not apply toward longevity vacation accumulation when an employee has had a break in continuous service, unless the break in service is concluded by reappointment, as provided in Section 9 -114 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code or by reemployment from layoff within one (1) year. D. Leave of absence without pay, as provided in Article XI, Section lE (Sick Leave - Extended) and Section 10.8 (Authorized Absence Without Pay - Long Term) herein, does not constitute a break in continuous service as used in this section; however, the leave of absence period shall not be applied toward the accumulation of longevity vacation. Absence on military leave followed by reinstatement, as provided in Section 9 -143 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code does not constitute a break in service, and the period of absence on such military leave shall be applied toward the accumulation of longevity vacation. An employee that is absent without pay for a full calendar year will have their longevity vacation accrual adjusted and not receive credit for one computed year of full -time, continuous city service toward the accumulation of longevity vacation. Such option may be eliminated or modified at the discretion of the Department to the extent it is construed as overtime under Department of Labor guidelines implementing provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). E. Employees covered by this MOU shall be given an option once per calendar year, to receive cash compensation computed on a straight time basis in lieu of up to a total of forty (40) hours of their longevity vacation leave benefits set forth in 40 Subsection A above. 10.4 Limitation on Vacation. A. With the exception of a retiring employee, no employee is granted, and no employee shall be allowed to take, any vacation leave with pay in excess of 400 hours in any one year. 10.5 Vacation Carr,, A. No employee may carry over from one (1) calendar year to the next, more than the maximum vacation carryover as set forth in the following table. Any vacation not used beyond the maximum carryover amount from year to year is forfeited, meaning that no pay shall be received for such unused vacation at any time. With respect to any vacation forfeited in this manner, this provision constitutes a waiver of any rights to vested vacation benefits under California Labor Code Section 227.3.

Separate banks will be maintained for vacation, holidays, and compensatory time, respectively, based on existing policies applicable to each. Time off from each bank may be taken in increments as small as one half (1/2) hour, with fractional usage rounded upward to the next higher multiple of one half (1 /2) hour. Each affected employee shall be afforded the opportunity to submit time off selection(s) and the Police Chief or his designee shall make every reasonable effort to accommodate the employee's preference(s). The time at which an employee shall take his or her leave time shall be determined by the Police Chief, with due regard for the wishes of the employee and particular regard for the needs of the service. NOTE: All other policies and procedures described in Article VIII, "Overtime ", Article IX, "Holidays ", and Article X, "Vacation" will apply to the Time Off Banks.

Reemployment shall be in reverse order of layoff. 22.2 Any promotional probationary employee laid off under these procedures who held permanent status in a lower class shall retain seniority rights in the previously held classification provided that it is still listed in the City's current basic classification and compensation plan. 22.3 Any permanent, full -time employee laid off tinder the above provisions may request a demotion to a position in a lower class provided he /she meets reasonably related qualifications required for placement in the class and the position is vacant. 22.4 In lieu of layoff, an employee may elect to work in a lower level classification, in which he or she has served, providing that classification is within the same job family /career ladder. In that event, the employee's length of service in the next lower classification will be added to his or her length of service in the affected classification, and said combined seniority shall be used to bump down into the next lower classification. This method of combining seniority shall be applied to subsequent lower classifications. 22.5 For positions that were advertised in the Police Department as "open and promotional" or "promotional only" which are open to Police Department employees only, there will be created a "job ladder" such that those employees in positions to be eliminated through layoff shall be entitled to return to the POA job classification in the Police Department from which they promoted, "bumping" any employee in that job class with less cumulative years of service in that job class than the bumping employee had in that job class prior to promotion. 22.6 Notice of Service. On request, a laid off employee shall receive a statement certifying that his /her services have been satisfactory. Layoff shall not be used in lieu of a disciplinary dismissal. 65 ARTICLE XXIII 23.0 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 23.1 Reopener.

The monetary value by classification is listed in Exhibit C, entitled "Uniform Allowance by Classification." The value of the Uniform Allowance shall be determined by the City and will be reported to the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) for retirement purposes only.
