Procedure 901 – Payroll Timesheets & Overtime Accounting
E. When an exception occurs to an employee’s scheduled workweek, a City of San Antonio Notice of Leave Form is
submitted. SAPD Form #15-CR, Compensatory Time off Record, has to be submitted by sworn members taking
compensatory time off. With the implementation of ERM, the Notice of Leave form will be submitted immediately
to the Accounting and Personnel Office. Supervisors will no longer attach the Notice of Leave form to the payroll
time sheet; however, supervisors will continue to attach the Compensatory Time off Records to the payroll time
sheets.
1. In the event a member does not take the leave as documented on the Notice of Leave form, the member’s
supervisor will e-mail a supervisor in the Accounting and Personnel Office.
2. The supervisor in the Accounting and Personnel Office will then ensure the Notice of Leave form is removed
from the file, and the member’s time is not taken.
F. Shift Differential:
Unit supervisors will e-mail a list of officers eligible for shift differential pay by the 10th of each month in the
following format to the Manager of the Accounting and Personnel Office. The supervisors will receive an e-mail
response verifying the list was received. Shift differential eligibility will no longer be coded on Unit/Details weekly
payroll time sheets. Unit supervisors will use the following format.
Office: Patrol Division Shift: PDC
Hours Worked From: 2130 to 0630 Month: October 04
NAME BADGE NUMBER SAP Employee Number
Smith, Joe 222 123456
Doe, Eric 1112
G. The “Remarks” column of the payroll time sheet is used for the following:
1. The purpose and location for any special assignment, administrative leave, or legislative leave;
2. To note the date a member returns to his parent unit/shift from a special assignment, administrative leave, or
legislative leave;
3. The date the member transferred to or from a unit/shift;
4. To indicate whether the leave was taken was scheduled or unscheduled, in accordance with Article 22, Section
4 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
5. The relationship of a deceased family member, if “DF” is listed; and
6. The number of hours, less than a full tour of duty, a member does not work due to being on any type of leave or
for being tardy. Time less than a full hour is noted in minutes.
H. Miscellaneous Payroll Time Sheet Instructions:
1. Members placed on special assignment or administrative leave are coded accordingly on the payroll time sheet
of the parent unit/shift.General Manual Procedures – Section 900 Personnel Procedures Page 3 of 9 Effective Date: January 06, 2012

Procedure 901 – Payroll Timesheets & Overtime Accounting
2. When a member is on special assignment to another unit/shift, that unit/shift acknowledges such personnel by
name on its payroll time sheet and accounts for all time, including pink slip, until such time as the member
returns to his parent unit/shift.
3. When a city holiday occurs while a member is on annual leave, the member’s duty status for the day is listed as
holiday on the payroll time sheet.
4. Sworn members calling in sick on a city holiday are listed as sick on the payroll time sheet for that day.
I. Unit/Shift Directors are responsible for ensuring each leave or absence listed on the payroll time sheet has
corresponding documentation attached. Documentation includes, but is not limited to the following:
1. City of San Antonio Notice of Leave Form (pink slip);
2. SAPD Form #15-CR, Compensatory Time off Record (orange card); and
3. Military leave orders, if applicable.
J. Completed payroll time sheets shall be routed, using bin mail or electronic mail, to the Accounting and Personnel
Office not later than the Monday morning following the end of the accounting period. Corresponding documentation
shall be routed through bin mail to the Accounting and Personnel Office.
.03 FIESTA & SPECIAL EVENT OVERTIME ACCOUNTING
A. The overtime accounting process for all members working a Fiesta event or a special event is handled by the special
event commander in charge of the event through the Police Event Management System (PEMS).
B. Members shall choose either overtime or compensatory time as compensation for overtime worked at a Fiesta or
special event prior to the start of the event.
C. Members may verify the amount of overtime or compensatory time earned after the completion of a Fiesta or special
event assignment by accessing PEMS, through COSANET, using either a mobile data computer (MD) or an office
computer.
D. Members finding a discrepancy for overtime worked and the amount of overtime or compensatory time credited to
them for working a Fiesta or special event should contact the special event commander. The special event
commander is the only person authorized to make corrections in the Police Event Management System (PEMS).
.04 OVERTIME & COMPENSATORY TIME CARDS
A. SAPD Form #15-O, Overtime Pay Record (white card), shall be submitted by officers who wish to receive pay for
working overtime assignments other than Fiesta or special events.
B. SAPD Form #15-C, Compensatory Overtime Record (pink card), shall be submitted by members who wish to accrue

E. Overtime and compensatory time cards must be submitted to the Accounting and Personnel Office within eight (8)
calendar days.
.05 OVERTIME RATES
A. An overtime rate, designated by a two (2) digit number, is used to identify the overtime rate of pay a member is
entitled to for working overtime. The overtime rates are as follows:
1. 1.0 - Overtime payable at straight time (non-sworn members);
2. 1.5 - Overtime payable at time and one half; and
