Minimum hours paid per permit?

• A. 2 hours
• B. 4 hours
• C. 6 hours
• D. 8 hours

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is the guaranteed compensation for off‑duty assignments. In the PBSO PBA CBA, each off‑duty permit comes with a four‑hour minimum pay. This means an officer is paid for at least four hours for every permit, even if the actual on‑site time is shorter or the detail ends early, ensuring fair compensation for the time and effort involved in taking and preparing for the assignment. If the detail lasts longer than four hours, pay continues for the actual time at the applicable rate. This four‑hour minimum helps prevent under‑payment on small or brief details.
