What is the name of your state? TX
In our department, we are not allowed to receive any overtime unless it is just unavoidable. There are situations that I find questionable in regards to their way of controlling it such as:
Let's say you work 2 hours over your scheduled shift, which would mean by the end of your scheduled week, you'd have 42 hours. Normal practice for them is to send you home 2hours early on day before the pay period ends, or to have you come in later one day.
Is that legal for them to do that?
Secondly, I am receiving feedback from one of my subordinates about performing duties that we ask of them.
At a hospital, when there is a suicidal/homicidal patient, and doctors orders that state the patient should be detained...is it okay if our security department detains these people? This guy is stating (former sheriff) that detaining these people is not within a security officers legal rights of enforcement. That only LEO's can detain citizens, and they have no more power to arrest, detain, or anything of that nature than a normal citizen.
Basically, he refused over the last couple days to detain this woman while she was on doctors orders, although she never tried to leave on his watch. She tried to leave when she was first here and fought with a couple officers as they carried her back to her room to ensure she stayed here.
