COMP TIME
SURVEY
09/29/09
It has been a long standing policy
of the Department to routinely deny
members their use of Compensatory
Time, Baby Furlough Days, Personal
Days, and even Vacation Days. Few,
if any, Watch Commanders will sign
off on the request when denying time
off.
The Lodge would like to keep a
record of all requested time off
that has been denied. Please
complete the following form if you
have been denied the use of any form
of time off.
Accuracy is important as the results
of this survey may be used in
current and future contract
negotiations.
