To provide a process for submission, approval, and documentation of Compensatory Time.
Policy/Procedure
Per the Local 92 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) Section 2125.66, Compensatory Time states:
“The Toledo Fire and Rescue Department shall approve three (3) compensatory time off requests for employees on any given tour. Individuals utilizing previously granted union release time will be included in that number. The request shall be submitted no more than sixty (60) days, but no later than 1900 hrs. of the member’s tour before (3 calendar days) but at least two (2) tours, prior to the requested day(s) off unless an unforeseen emergency makes it impossible for the employee to give such notice. Where sufficient notice is given, the request will be approved, or denied, within two (2) tours of submission. If the request is made within two (2) tours the request will be approved or denied before the end of the tour when the request is made. The major holidays referenced in Section 2125.79 “Paid Holidays” are not subject to the above-referenced three (3) employee minimum.
All requests for compensatory time off in excess of the above-referenced three (3) requests, shall be granted to members of the firefighting platoons whenever the forecasted manpower strength for the day and shift requested is at least two (2) members above the minimum manpower established for the entire City. The request shall be submitted no more than sixty (60) days, but at least two (2) tours, prior to the requested day(s) off. The request will be approved, or denied, within five (5) tours of submission.
The Parties agree that, once a request for compensatory time off is granted, the approval cannot be rescinded by either Party.”
