Rumor slowly becoming fact from what we consider a very good source:
- You can expect to be swiping in and out shortly after NATO leaves town. Rahm's number crunchers figured out how much wasted $$$ CPD costs the annual budget due to tardiness, early cuts, etc. Like private industry, there will be a 6-7 minute leeway for the swipes. Anything beyond that will result in the appropriate amount of pay deducted. And guess who made up some of this committee that made these startling discoveries? None other than the a few of the turds left over from the Crystal Ball Unit once Goldfinger moved on to greener pastures.
There are gonna be a ton of unhappy people once their checks started getting docked. In addition to the loss of pay, disciplinary proceedings will be brought upon chronically tardy individuals. A & As will be monitored daily to verify that the times in and out jive with the officers' swipes. Again, disciplinary proceedings to be levied upon supervisors who try to circumvent the process with constant 'start-time changes/hours adjustments' (read 'special' units; Narcotics, Gang Intel...pretty much all of Homan Sq.).
Now the biggie: officers attempting to circumvent the swipe procedure via duplicate cards and/or having coworkers swipe for one another to duck early will be charged both administratively and criminally (theft).
This is NOT rumor, but fact. The details are still being hammered out, but it will start shortly after the conclusion of NATO for obvious reasons.
Tact and Gangs to be hardest hit along with Special Units, Homan Square, Headquarters and assorted other political heavyweights. Of course, the two-and-three-tiers of disciplinary processes might be a saving grace here.
