43 4. If any person holding a rank higher than sergeant is returned to the rank of sergeant, either voluntarily or following a disciplinary action, that individual’s seniority will be based on his/her original date of promotion to sergeant. 5. Should an officer or sergeant be re-instated following termination, due to the decision of an arbitrator or a court, the individual’s seniority will be determined as if the individual had not been terminated. 6. Should an officer’s or sergeant’s employment be terminated and the individual later re-hired, seniority will be based solely upon the date of re-hire. Process 1. In order to facilitate the timely completion of the seniority sign-up program for Operations Division personnel, two weeks prior to the beginning of the process the Operations Division Commander will cause a notice to be posted. The notice will contain the beginning and ending dates of the sign-up process and the blocks of time allocated to all concerned personnel, as described in this memorandum of understanding. 2. Officers will sign-up for two six-month work schedules on or around September 15th, but no later than October 14th. 3. Sergeants will sign-up for two six-month work schedules on October 15th, but no later than October 25th. 4. The target date for posting the finalized schedule will be the first week of November. 5. The work schedule will go into effect at the start of the first pay period in January and July of each year. 6. Participating personnel will be assigned a specific block of time during which he/she may select watch and days off. 7. The assigned sign-up times will be no less than two (2) hours between employees. 8. In the event an employee fails to sign-up during his/her two (2) hour block, he/she may only sign-up following the completion of sign-ups on their scheduled date, between the hours of 2200 and 0600. Should the employee fail to sign-up at that time, he/she may sign-up following the completion of the sign-up process for a subsequent day, but again only between the hours of 2200 and 0600. Those failing to sign-up will be subject to assignment at the discretion of the Operations Division Commander. 9. No sign-up blocks will be assigned between 2201 hours and 0559 hours. 10. Once the process is completed, should any of the scenarios set forth in numbers 3 through 6 under Seniority occur, those individuals will not be allowed to sign up for work or vacation schedules until the next annual process.
