• During the course of their outside overtime shift, the employee will not be available for TRAP activities and are exempt from “call outs.”
• All outside overtime worked will be noted on the TRAP timesheets in the “Comments” section in order to monitor the employee’s availability.
• TRAP employees are authorized to drive a TRAP vehicle to and from any outside overtime assignment.  TRAP vehicles will not be used during the outside overtime assignment, unless they have prior permission from the Project Director.
• All task force employees will follow their parent agencies written guidelines regarding overtime procedures.
• All outside overtime slips will be copied and submitted to their immediate supervisor to be submitted with the TRAP weekly timesheets.
