COMPENSATION AND HOURS OF WORK
Section 5.1. Compensation:
Compensation of the Sergeants covered by this Agreement of the Village of Mount Prospect
shall be paid according to Appendix A attached hereto and by reference incorporated herein. Said
compensation shall include base pay, longevity pay and supervisory incentive pay. Said compensation
shall be effective January 1, 2017 and any and all retroactive pay shall be distributed to the Sergeants
in a lump sum on or before 30 days after the date of execution of this Agreement.
Section 5.2 Duty Shifts and Patrol Work Schedule
A patrol Sergeant's standard duty schedule is four (4) ten (10) hour days followed by three
(3) days off. Each Sergeant shall take a paid forty-five (45) minute break each duty shift whether
or not the period is used for food consumption. A Sergeant who completes a full shift will be
credited with ten (10) hours of "time worked" for purposes of calculating premium overtime as
required under the Fair Labor Standards Act. If a Sergeant works a double shift, said Sergeant will
be compensated an additional full eight (8) hours if he/she works the entire second shift. A
Sergeant called in to work a short shift will be compensated for a full ten (10) hours if the entire
shift is worked.
The Sergeants shifts shall be defined as follows: A -Shift is 2200 hours to 0800 hours; 13 -
Shift is 0600 to 1600 hours; and C -Shift is 1400 hours to 0000 hours.
For purposes of calculating the accrual and use of paid time off, the parties agree each day
shall consist of ten (10) hours, in keeping with the previous conduct of the parties, (i.e. vacation,
personal, time due, sick time of any other authorized and paid time off).
Patrol Sergeants shall have weekends off every other twenty-eight (28) day work cycle
which will consist of days off being Sat/Sun/Mon or Fri/Sat/Sun. The parties agree that the
provisions of this paragraph may be avoided only to accomplish the reasonable operational needs
of the Department.
The following shall be the procedure followed for the annual assignment of Patrol
Sergeants to Patrol shifts:
1. In the annual shift bid process no Sergeant shall receive his/her last choice more
than two (2) years in a row.
2. After a Sergeant has seven (7) full years of time in rank, that Sergeant shall not
receive his/her last shift assignment choice. In the event, as a result of this
section, there is a necessity to order a Sergeant to a particular short shift, then
that order shall be accomplished by reverse seniority (time in rank).
3. After a sergeant has twelve (12) full years of time in rank, that sergeant shall
receive his/her first choice preference of shift assignment by seniority (time in
rank).
Section 5.3. Call Back:
Any Sergeant covered by this Agreement who is called back to work on an assignment which
does not continuously follow a Sergeant's regularly scheduled working hours shall be compensated a
minimum of two (2) hours for each call back from the time when the Sergeant receives notice to
return to work or the actual time worked, whichever amount is greater.
In the event that an employee is off duty and is called back to duty, said employee shall be
paid at the hourly rate of one and one-half (1 1/2) times the employee's regular hourly rate of pay, and
shall be paid a minimum of two (2) hours of compensation. There shall be no pyramiding in
calculating premium pay.
Section 5.4. Overtime:
Consistent with Section 5.2 above, each Sergeant covered by this Agreement shall be compensated
for all hours worked in excess of the Sergeant's scheduled shift per work day at the rate of time and
one-half (1 1/2) the regular hourly rate of pay. Overtime is paid in quarter (1/4) hour increments with
seven (7) minutes being rounded down and eight (8) minutes rounded up. For purposes of this Section,
every Sergeant covered by this Agreement shall begin to earn overtime pay after working in excess
of 7.5 minutes after the end of his/her shift.
When overtime assignments for full "SHORT SHIFTS" (defined as a full duty shift which is
below minimum manpower standards and requires the continuation of an on -duty Police Sergeant
covered by this Agreement) are not filled on a voluntary basis and it becomes necessary to order an
on -duty Sergeant to work, the on -duty Sergeant shall be chosen by reverse seniority in rank and shall
be ordered to work a full eight (8) hour shift. If it becomes necessary to order an off-duty Sergeant to
work, the off-duty Sergeant shall be chosen by reverse seniority in rank and shall be ordered to work
a full ten (10) hour shift. No Sergeant shall be ordered to work more than one (1) shift holdover
within three (3) consecutive calendar days unless the Sergeant agrees to do so. It is also agreed that
the Chief of Police or his designee may deviate from these standards when they believe unusual
circumstances exist or particularly qualified Sergeants are necessary.
Section 5.5. Hours Worked:
"Hours worked" for purposes of calculating overtime or any other benefit shall include all
hours actually worked and any paid leave of absence which shall include but shall not be limited to
Sick Leave, Vacation Leave, Holiday Leave, Compensatory Time Off and any other authorized paid
time off.
Elective medical procedures that would require sick leave off during the key recognized
holiday periods of Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Day will not be granted
unless sufficient supervisory staffing is available to cover these periods on a regular duty basis where
no overtime costs are incurred.
Section 5.6. Court Time:
Employees shall receive time and one-half (1 1/2) for all Court time, and shall be paid for a
minimum of three (3) hours per Court call; once in the morning and once in the afternoon if so
scheduled. A Sergeant assigned to a specific Court call that continues on into another scheduled Court
call will be paid at the time and one-half (1 1/2) rate for actual time in Court but shall not be entitled
to an additional three (3) hour minimum. If a morning Court is continued to the afternoon call for a
lunch break, the Sergeant will be paid overtime through the lunch break until completion of the
original call. If a morning case is reassigned to the afternoon call by the Judge, a second three (3)
hour minimum will be paid.
Sergeants working the day shift who are in Court when, and after, their shift ends shall
receive overtime and not a three (3) hour minimum.
Midnight shift Sergeants attending court will receive the three (3) hour minimum court
time benefit unless they are required to return to responsibilities connected to his/her duty shift
responsibilities, afternoon shift Sergeants attending court will receive the three (3) hour minimum
court time benefit.
Sergeants reporting to a Court location other than the location normally assigned, shall
have paid time computed when they sign out at the police headquarters if they are using a Village
provided vehicle; further they shall be eligible for necessary and reasonable out of pocket expenses
(i.e. parking, mileage) to travel to such different courts (e.g., Chicago). It is understood the Rolling
Meadows Court is deemed a normal assignment. At remote court locations, overtime starts at sign
in, just as at the Rolling Meadows court location, unless a Village provided vehicle was utilized
by the affected Sergeant.
Section 5.7 Special Assignments:
Special assignments shall be compensated at the rate of $45 per hour effective on the date of
ratification of this Agreement or Award. Any change in payment amount will be applied at the time
of the actual work performed and not eligible for any retroactive pay calculations. Special assignments
shall be equalized. The Village agrees that should it decide to charge an administrative fee in
connection with these special assignments said fee shall be reasonable.
Section 5.8 Travel Time Compensation:
As to travel time, the Village agrees to compensate members for travel required by the
department, which shall require travel to a point in excess of 150 miles from Mount Prospect (to
include Champaign, Urbana) or those instances where the member is required to remain away
overnight.
Section 5.9 Titne-Due/Conipensator Time:

Records at the rate of time and one-half (1 1/2) in lieu of monetary payment on the payroll check.

time and one-half (1 1/2) rate must be taken by the individual as monetary compensation on the
payroll check.
The Department will allow a maximum of fifty (50) hours to be carried over to the next
calendar year without loss. Sergeants in excess of fifty (50) hours on the Time Due Book as of January
1 each year will receive cash payment for all hours in excess of the fifty (50) hour maximum, said
payment shall be included in the last payroll of March of the following year. Commanders will take
the steps necessary to ensure adequate manpower for their shift prior to approving time due.

written requests to the shift commander at least forty eight (48) hours in advance of the first scheduled
change, absent emergency conditions. Emergency switches must carry the authorization of the Chief
of Police or Deputy Chief or his designee. Sergeants may elect up to six (6) duty trade/switches
during a calendar year that result in a double shift without any repayment obligation of the two (2)
hour shift overlap. The requests shall not be honored if granting such a request would adversely affect
police department operations.
Section 5.11. Meetings:
Any Sergeant required to be at a mandatory meeting which immediately proceeds or follows
his regularly assigned duty shift shall be compensated for a minimum of two (2) hours at time and
one-half the Sergeant's hourly rate of pay. Any Sergeant covered by this Agreement required to be at

eighty (480) that have remained unused during the previous year, such employees shall be allowed to
accumulate such additional time above and beyond four hundred eighty (480) hours to a maximum
of seven hundred sixty-eight (768) hours.

(50%) of the time accumulated above and beyond four hundred eighty (480) hours, or such other

and not compensated for as set forth hereinabove. If an employee elects to receive monetary
compensation for sick hours above 480, the payment will be included in the employee's regular
paycheck.

release before returning to work after being off from work for three (3) or more consecutive working
days.
In those instances where the Village finds it necessary, based on reasonable suspicion, to
verify an illness, they will visit the home only after making a call and getting no response. They

of the public.
Section 12.2. Jurisdiction of Fire and Police Commission:
Disciplinary action or termination is subject to the jurisdiction of the Board of Fire and Police
Commissioners according to the applicable State law. A copy of any written disciplinary action shall
be provided in writing to the employee. It is understood that in the event the Commission, for any
reason, ceases to have jurisdiction over disciplinary action or termination, the parties agree that Article
XI, Grievance Procedure, shall be applicable for resolving issues or disputes relating to just cause
discipline.
Disciplinary action given by or approved by the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners may
be subject to the Grievance Procedure of the Agreement at Step 4 based on conditions set forth below.
Upon receipt of a notice of disciplinary action, the employee (with approval of the Union) may elect
to appeal a disciplinary action involving a suspension or dismissal by filing a written grievance at
Step 4 of the Grievance Procedure not later than 10 days from the date of the disciplinary action given
by or approved by the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners. The suspension or discharge shall be

Procedure, the grievance shall be filed in a written form. Any such appeal shall be signed by the
Union President or his designee and shall also contain a signed statement from the affected
employee waiving any and all rights he may have to any further appeal of the discipline of the

recourse. If the arbitrator determines after hearing that the disciplinary action is not supported by
just cause, the arbitrator shall have the authority to rescind or to modify the action and order that
the employee be made whole for any losses incurred as a result of wrongful disciplinary action. In
the event that the arbitrator modified the disciplinary action by awarding a suspension or a shorter
suspension, he shall have the authority to award a payment of partial back pay that is consistent
with the length of any such reduced disciplinary action. Any disciplinary grievance filed without
the required signed waiver shall not be subject to arbitration and the arbitrator shall be without
jurisdiction to consider or rule upon it.

disciplines. The parties agree that the removal of reprimand shall be on the written notice of the

tax. If the Village is unable to obtain an alternative health insurance plan to avoid the tax the Village
and the Union shall meet to discuss and bargain over the impact of opportunities to avoid the
"Cadillac" tax.

mandates may impact the Village's existing health insurance care plans, and certain health insurance
exchanges will be offered as an alternative to the Village's existing health care plan. The Village and
the Union shall meet to discuss and bargain over the impact of that alternative coverage and the
applicable federal health care mandates on the Employer's existing health insurance plan and the costs
related hereto.
Each employee, upon becoming eligible for the above coverage, shall receive a policy and
descriptive literature describing the health insurance benefits and the procedures for utilizing them.
Employee's contribution towards the insurance benefits program shall be as follows:

range may still be eligible for the discount provided they participate in a physician supervised
program that actively manages any of the criteria deemed to in the unhealthy range. The Village

SIDE LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING
This Side Letter of Understanding ("Side Letter") is entered into on this day of August,
2018 by and among the VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT, ILLINOIS and its Police
Department (collectively referred to as the "Village" or "Employer") and the METROPOLITAN
ALLIANCE OF POLICE, MOUNT PROSPECT SERGEANTS, CHAPTER #85 covering the
employees who are employed by the Employer as peace officers in the rank of Police Sergeants
and METROPOLITAN ALLIANCE OF POLICE, Chapter 484 covering the employees who are
employed by the Employer as peace officers below the rank of sergeant ("Patrol Officers"). As
used in this Side Letter, both chapters of METROPOLITAN ALLIANCE OF POLICE will be
referred to as "MAP". The Parties agree as follows:
1. The Village and MAP are parties to a successor collective bargaining agreement
that sets forth the conditions of employment for the Sergeants (the "Sergeant CBA"). The Village
and MAP also are parties to a collective bargaining agreement that sets for the conditions of
employment for the Patrol Officers (the "Patrol CBA").
2. After good faith bargaining regarding the decision and effects of the law referred to
as the Illinois Police and Community Relations Improvement Act, the Parties have agreed to revise
and replace Article 15 of the Sergeant CBA and Article 15 of the Patrol CBA with the following:
ARTICLE XV
DRUG AND ALCOHOL TESTING
Section 15.1 Drue and Alcohol Testin
The Village may require employees to submit to a urinalysis test and/or
other appropriate drug and/or alcohol testing at a time and place designated
by the Village when the Police Chief (or designee) believes there is
sufficient cause for such testing, defined for purposes of this section as
"reasonable suspicion". The primary basis of the "reasonable suspicion"
shall be verbally identified prior to the employee's submission to the test
and will be documented in writing generally within 24 hours thereafter.
The Village also may require employees to participate in random drug
testing, provided that any such program shall be administered by a vendor
who conducts U.S. Department of Transportation testing (i.e. the type of
testing outlined in 49 CFR, Part 40). If random testing procedures are
implemented, up to fifty -percent (50%) of the employees in the bargaining
unit are tested during each calendar year.
Prohibitions. Use, sale, purchase, delivery, or possession of illegal drugs
at any time and at any place, whether on or off the job; abuse of prescribed
drugs; failure to report to the Chief or his designee any known adverse side
effects of medication or prescription drug the employee is taking that is
reasonably expected to affect the employee's performance; consumption or
possession of alcohol while on duty; or being impaired by or under the
influence of alcohol while on duty. Officers who consume or possess
prohibited substances as part of their legitimate work duties, which have
been approved and directed by the Chief of Police (or designee) will not be
subject to discipline for that reason alone.
Assistance. Officers who believe they may have a problem with the use or
abuse of drugs and/or alcohol are encouraged to seek assistance or a
reasonable accommodation when necessary and without fear of retaliation.
It is understood an after the fact request for assistance will not excuse a prior
policy, CBA provision and/or SOP violation.
Violations. A policy violation or positive test result will be just cause for
disciplinary action, including dismissal if warranted by the facts involved.
Section 15.2 Drug and Alcohol Testing Following ant Officer Involved
Shooting
Pursuant to the Illinois Police and Community Relations Improvement Act,
drug and alcohol testing also will be required (even in the absence of
reasonable suspicion) and completed as soon as practical (but no later than
the end of the shift) following an officer involved shooting incident that
results in death or injury to a person.
The Union agrees its members shall be required to abide by the Employer's
General Order that is in effect at the time of ratification of this CBA
regarding "Reporting and Investigation of Incidents Involving Subject
Resistance and Officer Use of Force" and all other provisions of this Article
15 of the CBA (collectively the "D/A Policy"). This Section 15.2 and the
D/A Policy will be construed in a manner that satisfies Public Act 100-389
(the "Act") and any other law that applies.
Pursuant to the Act, an officer is considered "involved in" a shooting when
the officer discharged a firearm thereby causing injury or death to a person
or persons. If multiple officers discharged their firearms, and it is unclear
whose bullet struck the person or persons, then all officers who discharged
their firearm in the direction of the subject shall be required to submit to
drug and alcohol testing. By contrast, the phrase "involved in" does not
include officers who did not discharge their weapon, even if they were
providing other forms of support and assistance during the call. Nor does
the term "involved in" include officers who discharge their weapons when
it is undeniably clear their projectiles did not actually strike any person or
persons.
The parties agree any drug or alcohol test required pursuant to the D/A
Policy shall be considered a compelled, non -voluntary drug or alcohol test
under threat of disciplinary action. Such OIS testing shall only be done by
urinalysis or breathalyzer. Blood testing will not occur for an OIS required
test under this Section 15.2 unless compelled by law. This does not limit
the Employer's right to obtain test results via other available legal
processes. The samples, testing, and results shall only be used for internal
administrative purposes, including disciplinary action when appropriate and
as required by law. Except as necessary to enforce the D/A Policy or when
required by law (e.g. subpoena or warrant), the Employer will not share any
test samples or results of testing with any entity or person.
3. As used above, references to "officer" or "member" or "employee" shall refer to
patrol officers and other employees covered by the Patrol CBA when appropriate. By contrast,
references to "officer", "member" or "employee" shall refer to the Police Sergeants covered by the
Sergeant CBA when appropriate.
4. Except as provided herein, the remaining terms of the Sergeant CBA and the Patrol
CBA will remain in full force and effect.
5. The changes are effective upon execution of this Side Letter. The individuals who
signed this Side Letter below represent that they have authority to enter into this agreement and
bind their respective party to these terms.
