    Overtime counts in their pension calculations.

    We saw similar things after 9/11. Where for a year they had stupid levels of overtime, and it skewed the numbers.

    Yes this is wild. Yep outrageous there should be a limit to this kind of thing

      See, it’s disgusting to me to say “FUCK THE NYPD” during 9/11…and it’s also disgusting to me NOT to say “FUCK THE NYPD”.

      So I’m torn…

      But also, FUCK THE NYPD!

        They have strong unions; and are the one union that conservatives seem to like and support.

        In my state the state pension is calculated by your highest 5 years; so yeah if you can triple you salary via overtime it makes sense financially.

        But ACAB

        I get that we all hate cops here, and believe me, I do, but why wouldn’t any labor count toward your retirement? That’s ridiculous.

          Yup. All hours worked should be included in pension calculations. The problem is the scamming done by cops and their unions, and the inclusion of hours worked for entities other than the actual PD (ie: stores, markets, security, etc).

          No cop should be able to use their uniform to work for a third party and have those hours count towards their publically-funded pension.

          Should be base pay, for any job cop or not. Especially DB pensions. Overtime is your own money if you want to save it.
