(a) Effective April 15, 1989, the following policy was established by the City. It governs the accrual and payment of accumulated time. The policy does not address the award of accumulated time. (1.) Accumulated time accrued through April 15, 1989, will be frozen and kept in a separate account known as the "Frozen Accumulated Time" account. The accumulated time will be frozen at the rank which the officer holds on that date (or, in the case of the few officers who earn their accumulated time at a higher rank and have since then been demoted, the accumulated time would be frozen at the higher rank at which it was earned). The value of the frozen accumulated time will increase with the annual escalation of pay rate for the frozen rank. If an officer chooses to be paid for the frozen accumulated time it will be paid out at then current pay rate of the rank at which it was frozen. (Example: an officer whose time was frozen at the sergeant's rank in 1989 and who requested payment for accumulated time in 1991 would be paid a total amount equal to the number of frozen hours times the 1991 rate of payment for sergeants). (2.) Accumulated time earned after April 15, 1989 will be held in a separate account known as "Current Accumulated Time" account. Time held in the Current Accumulated Time account will be valued at the rate at which it is actually earned. (Time earned as a sergeant will always be valued at a Sergeant's rate of pay, time earned as a captain will always be valued at a captain's rate of pay, etc. and, will be payable at the rate of pay for that rank at the time of pay out). A maximum of 100 hours may be held in the current account. Any hours worked or accumulated time credits due beyond the 100 hours will be paid in cash as overtime. The Current Accumulated Time is a flexible account. Hours will be added as they are accumulated and subtracted as they are used but at no time will exceed 100 hours.An officer who wishes to use more accumulated time hours than are available in the current account may use additional hours from his/her frozen account.
