In cases where less than five (5) days notice is available, the Sheriff, or designee, shall log one (1) phone call to each employee on the list before assigning overtime. Assignment of overtime shall be made upon the employee's preference and seniority except in cases of emergency or of less than five (5) days notice. If no employee accepts an assignment of overtime, then the Sheriff or designee may assign the overtime as a callback. 11.14 Training-: The Employer will make every reasonable effort to afford an employee the opportunity to attend job related training, provided attendance of training shall not create an overtime situation, unless approved by the Employer, and shall not reduce staffing levels, unless approved by the Employer. Mandatory meetings and training outside of the employee's normal work schedule shall be compensated at time and one-half (lX) the employee's regular hourly rate of pay. When an employee of the Sheriff's Office is authorized to attend training, the employee should recognize the professional benefit both the employee and the County will receive. The employee should also be cognizant of the expense the County will incur to provide training. To that end, the employee may be required to agree to remain employed with the County after the training for four (4) months for every $1,000 expended on such training (cost of registration, travel, etc.). Employees who voluntarily leave employment prior to meeting this expectation will be required to repay the training expense to the County on a pro-rated basis. Prior to sending an employee to training which will obligate the employee under this policy, the Department Head/Elected Official will have the employee sign a "Training Reimbursement Agreement". The original of this agreement will be maintained in the employee's personnel file. 11.15: Any employee designated as a Field Training Officer, as assigned by the Sheriff, shall receive a premium of $1.00 per hour above their base hourly pay while actively involved in FTO activity.

With approval of the Sheriff or designee, leave may be increased by two (2) days, to a maximum of five (5) working days of absence with full pay in the event the death/funeral occurs out of state, subject to the approval of the Sheriff.
