Hourly Restrictions Update

More options for agencies to enforce hourly limits

Hourly Restrictions are used by agencies to prevent officer fatigue by making sure officers don't work too many off-duty hours, in addition to their scheduled shift hours with the agency, in a given time.

As of July, 2023, the agency's period for calculating these hours may run in any combination of the following timeframes:

• Daily - a single calendar day from 12 AM to 11:59:59 PM of that same day
• Weekly - 7 consecutive days, starting with the selected day of the week
• Monthly - 12 AM on the first day of a calendar month, ending at 11:59:59 on the last day of the month
• Custom - any custom repeatable time frame

These can be adjusted by an agency administrator in the agency settings.

Flex Jobs are a type of job in RollKall that allow officers to work for any portion of a job's scheduled hours. Flex jobs are also factored into an officer's hourly limit calculation.

Overriding Hourly Restrictions

When hourly restrictions are in use, there are two ways that these restrictions can be overridden for exceptional circumstances:

• An agency administrator may approve the overage
• The agency can choose whether to allow officers to proceed with a warning

NOTE: Officer override is only available to officers who are using version 3.0.6 of the RollKall mobile app or higher. If an officer does not have access to this feature, they may need to update their app.

If exceptions are allowed, officers will be required to acknowledge when they will break their hourly limits by checking a box.

Administrators also have the ability to override hourly limits. When this happens, an entry is made to the applicant log with details on how many hours the officer had before and after the override.
