The salary of an employee who voluntarily transfers back to the position originally held will be decreased by 3%. This provision shall only apply to voluntary transfers within a department to a different classification or the same classification with significantly different responsibilities or voluntary transfers between departments into the same or different classification as defined above.

Eligible employees in the Department of Public Works whose workday begins after 1:00 a.m. and before 4:00 a.m. shall be eligible to receive the shift differential for all hours worked.

 

Shift differential shall be paid for all hours for which an employee would have received a shift assignment but for the fact that the employee was on vacation, holiday, sick leave, doctor/dentist appointments (miscellaneous unapplied time - 069 time), funeral leave, or paid parental leave. In no case shall an employee receive both shift and weekend differential rates for the same hours worked. Employees working on a Holiday shall not be eligible for shift differential for the hours worked on a Holiday. Employees working on an “emergency call out” or otherwise eligible for automatic, pensionable overtime pay shall not be eligible for shift differential for the hours worked under the automatic, pensionable overtime provision.
