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.
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 shail 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. If 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 & I!) and
Sergeant, and between the ranks of Sergeant and Lieutenant) and to provide incentive for
promotion and to recognize more complex, levels of responsibility.
A. Fiscal Year 2020- July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020:
1. Effective July 1, 2019, employees shall receive a 3% cost of living increase
(Lieutenant: $104,788.13; Sergeant: $95,825.80)
