CT, if they don't pay those officers time and a half, the penalty is a wage claim where they are entitled to 3 times their damages plus attorney's fees. Those are generally slam dunk lawsuits.

I know that, Paul. But they are NOT. They have forced the officers to take "trade days" that the CITY chooses for them.
At least that is what officers are reporting.
But I did hear that IFD & MCSD are paying O/T. Just not IMPD.

CT, if they go over 40 hours in a week, they have to pay them time and a half or provide comp time at time and a half.

An event like this cannot possibl be profitable. One the one hand, we have to supply everything necessary using tax dollars and on the other the NFL gets use of it all tax-free.

And I would like to know just how much tax revenue is never realized, from unreported parking income?

The figures they use are always gross, not net; real numbers would end the party. All I know is that the taxpayers always lose.

Wait a minute!!! I thought the city was supposed to come out of this rolling in cash!!! /s off

"... $4 million CIB has agreed to reimburse the city for providing police security..."

If this is true, WHY are IMPD officers being assigned to work from 14-19 days straight; days off & vacations cancelled; and overtime pay being denied them?
They have been told they have to "trade" their days off for days assigned to them by the city.
According to the FLSA, if officers work more than their normal hours, overtime or comp time at 1-1/2 times their normal rate is MANDATORY, at the officer's discretion.
So how can the city arbitrarily cancel their days off, make them work 10-12 hour days for 14-19 days straight, and not pay them anything extra?
