every hour worked on overtime. A maximum of twenty-four (24) hours compensatory time may
be accumulated.

days, except at retirement or transfer and then only upon approval of the Bureau Commander.

Requests for compensatory time off shall follow the same form as for overtime and shall be

ARTICLE 26
OUTSIDE DETAILS

Compensation Rate — Full-Time Employees:

A.

Employees working outside details shall be paid at the hourly rate of $43.75 (Effective May
31, 2015). Effective January 1, 2017, the outside detail rate shall be compensated at the
rate of time and one half of the hourly rate of a Second Year Special Officer.

A $3.00 per hour premium shall be paid in addition, for all outside details where alcoholic
beverages are served.

Once an employee is assigned and accepts an outside detail, he shall fill that detail or
notify the Desk Sergeant on duty at least two (2) hours prior to the start of the detail of his
inability to perform that duty. The time limit may be waived at the discretion of the Chief
or his designee.

All outside details shall be compensated for at a minimum of four (4) hours at the above
rates.

Special police services requiring fhe service of three (3) or more special officers may
require that an additional officer be assigned to supervise the detail. The decision to
assign an additional officer to supervise the detail and the selection of the officer shall rest
in the sole discretion of the Chief or his designee. In the event such officer is so assigned,
that officer shall receive an additional $2.00 per hour compensation.

Any contractor who books a detail from the Nashua Police Department shall have up to
one hour before the scheduled start time of that detail to cancel. The contractor will be
responsible for paying a four hour minimum to the detail officer if the job is not cancelled
prior to one hour of the scheduled start time.

A pension differential shall be paid to qualifying members for work at an outside detail,
whose date of hire recognized by the New Hampshire Retirement System is on or after
7/1/2011. This differential is calculated as the amount of the outside detail paid multiplied
by the current Employer Contribution Pension Rate. The pension differential does not
apply to members whose outside detail pay earnings are considered as earnable
compensation for retirement. The pension differential will be charged to the outside detail
customer along with any other compensation paid as a result of the outside detail.

24

For example: $175.00 paid for four (4) hours of outside detail work performed at the rate of
$43.75 per hour, for a member hired on July 15, 2011, would receive a differential calculated at
the hourly rate of the current Employer Contribution Pension Rate times the number of hours
worked. Example: Current Rates: ($43.75 x 25.3%)(times 4 hours).

ARTICLE 27
COURT TIME

For all job-related court appearances or depositions which an employee is required to attend, the
employee shall receive a minimum of three (3) hours pay at one and one-half (1 1/2) times his
regular rate of pay, provided that if the three (3) hour minimum overlaps with his regular tour of
duty, overtime shall be paid only for those hours in court or at the deposition (including necessary
travel time) in excess of his regularly scheduled tour of duty. The employee shall also receive
the AAA established mileage from the police station to the place of attendance and return trip.
The Department will notify an employee of the need to appear in Nashua District Court at least
twenty-four (24) hours in advance. The Department shall notify an employee of the cancellation
of a Nashua District Court appearance at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance. lf the
Department does not give twenty-four (24) hours-notice of a Nashua District Court appearance
or cancellation, the Department shall pay the employee one (1) hour of overtime compensation
in addition to any other amounts due.

The employee shall not receive the benefit of both witness fees and overtime pay under this
provision.

ARTICLE 28
WAGES

Wages shall be paid in accordance with the following schedule. However, in the event
subordinates (employees covered by the Patrolmen’s collective bargaining agreement) receive
a higher cost of living raise (or other “across the board” wage increase) than the employees
covered by this Agreement, the same percentage increase shall also be extended to this
Bargaining Unit, in order to match the total pay raise negotiated under the Patrolmen’s collective
bargaining agreement, to include retroactivity, if any. The purpose and intent of this provision is
to maintain sufficient wage differentials (between the ranks of Master Patrolmen (I & Il) and
Sergeant, and between the ranks of Sergeant and Lieutenant) and to provide incentive for
