12 hour shifts...some questions

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone!

For you people that work in dispatch centers with 12 hour shifts:

How do you accrue your vacation time? By the hour or by the day?

Same for sick days...

When you go to an offsite training class, how are you compensated? Right

now,

we work 8 hr days and we are compensated for 8 hrs while in school. If we

switch to

12 hr schedules how would we figure that?

How do you cover overtime? Do you ever have to work more than 16 hrs? How do

you do

mandatory OT? In 4 hr increments?

Sorry for all of the questioins, but I'm trying to put together an informed

presentation. We have 4 naysayers

in our dispatch center (we had a vote, 16 want 12hrs and 4 don't). I know

I'm going to get hammered with

these questions and I don't want to give them the deer in the headlights

look.

Thanks so much!!!

Please feel free to email me on or off list!
