AGREEMENT
The following is an agreement between the Clay County Sheriff's Office and
Clay County Utility Authority
(Individual or Business Name)
This agreement governs the hiring of off-duty deputy sheriffs by a private individual, organization, or
company (hereinafter "secondary employer"). It is agreed that any actions taken by a deputy sheriff
engaged in secondary employment will be consistent with Florida Statutes Section 30.2905 and CCSO
General Orders and Standard Operating Procedures. Staffing levels will be determined by the CCSO
Secondary Employment Specialist to ensure the safety of the public, and the deputy(s) assigned.
WORKER'S COMPENSATION
The secondary employer is NOT required to provide worker's compensation coverage for a deputy
sheriff engaging in secondary employment as such coverage is provided by Clay County Board of
County Commissioners.
to INDEMNIFICATION
It is understood and agreed that liability coverage is the responsibility of the secondary employer up to
the point that a deputy sheriff engages in enforcement of a county ordinance or state law. The
secondary employer agrees to protect, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Clay County Sheriff's
Office from any and all third-party claims, liability, losses, or cause of action which may arise from any
actions or omissions of the deputy sheriff while acting solely in their capacity as an employee of the
secondary employer.
BILLING AND PAYMENT
The secondary employer will pay each deputy sheriff providing services directly at the minimum rate of
$42.00 per hour. The rate for holidays observed by the Sheriff's Office will be a minimum of $57.00 per
hour and $61.00 per hour for the supervisor. This does not preclude the secondary employer from
paying a higher rate to attract deputies to provide the desired service. Holidays observed by the Sheriff's
Office in 2023 are as follows:
Holiday Date Observed by Sheriff's Office
New Year's Day January 2
Martin Luther King, Jr., Day January 16
President's Day February 20
Memorial Day May 29

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day December 24 and December 25
The minimum number of hours for which services can be contracted for is three (3) hours. If not paid
at the time of the detail, deputies shall be paid within 15 days from the date services were provided. If
deputies are not paid within this timeframe, a late fee of $25.00 per deputy, will be accrued monthly
until payment is made in full.
When secondary employment assignment requires more than five (5) deputies, the sixth deputy will be
a supervisor at the rank of sergeant or above. Assignments requiring more than 15 deputies will require
an additional supervisor be assigned. The secondary employer will pay for the services of the
supervisor at the rate of $46.00 per hour. In the event that a supervisor is not available, an acting
supervisory deputy may be designated by the Secondary Employment Specialist.
When Clay County Sheriff's Office deputies are assigned to work secondary employment alongside
other law enforcement personnel, the Clay County Sheriff's Office deputy's rate of pay will be
commensurate with the highest rate of pay of other law enforcement employees of the same rank.
Example: If Florida Highway Patrol is working at $65.00 per hour and Clay County Sheriff's Office
to deputies are working at $42.00 per hour, The Clay County Sheriff's Office deputies will be paid at the
higher rate of Florida Highway Patrol at $65.00 per hour. Larger scale events may require an Incident
Commander at the rank of Lieutenant or higher. The need for an Incident Commander will be
determined by the Chief of Narcotics and Special Operations or higher authority. Incident Commanders
will be paid at a rate equal to their regular rate of pay at time and a half.
The secondary employer will pay Clay County Sheriff's Office an administrative fee of $5.00 per hour,
per deputy. Secondary Employment jobs that require additional equipment, specialized vehicles, or
resources (i.e., Marine Unit, Traffic Section etc.) an additional fee per hour may be charged to the
employer to cover the additional cost(s). A secondary employer will also be required to pay a scheduling
fee either per event, or per month depending on the particular assignment. This fee will be paid to the
Clay County Sheriff's Office Finance Division, or directly to the scheduling employee, and is based on
the total number of man hours scheduled per month as outlined below.
Hours Scheduled Scheduling Fee
Up to 15 $35.00
16 to 25 $85.00

DUTIES TO BE PERFORMED
Deputies hired to work secondary employment are bound to the policies and procedures of the Clay
County Sheriff's Office and are obligated to enforce state statutes and ordinances of Clay County.

Secondary Employment is a service provided by the Clay County Sheriff's Office, and is intended to
augment existing sheriff's office manpower, by providing requesting members of the public with
additional resources. As such, secondary employment is not considered a primary function of the

will it be obligated to provide a deputy if one is not available to work. In addition, the sheriff's office
reserves the right to refuse or discontinue off-duty services for any secondary employment assignment
that is deemed to be in conflict with the best interests of the Clay County Sheriff's Office.
