There was a story in the Toronto papers about a year ago.
For the past 50 years when a Toronto Police Officer worked overtime, he could enter it on his duty sheet as "No Claim". Before the end of his current work cycle (day shift, night shift or afternoon shift), he could then take the time off. No paperwork, just the honour system. There was nothing official about No Claim, it is just a system that evolved.
Seems a new Inspector arrived at a police division and charged an officer who was in the station an hour before the scheduled end of his shift. He was going to take his "No Claim" time that day. Cost him an 8 hour suspension.
The police union has informed all officers to claim the overtime officially. The result, a trebling of overtime payments.
The police chief wants to go back to the old system but the union has said the officer in question must get back the 8 hours he lost and a contract must be signed setting out the rules for "No Claim". The current chief has a habit of saying one thing to the rank and file and doing another. In addition, the Inspector must be disciplined.
A prime example of "the boss" cutting off his nose to spite his face.
