In order for Greer Police Officers to provide security at an event, certain payment and Worker’s Compensation requirements must be met. Greer Police officers are to be paid at a rate of $25.00 per hour per officer. There is a two hour minimum.

Worker’s Compensation requirements may be met in one of the two following ways:

1. Your organization may agree to provide Worker’s Compensation coverage to the officer while he is working at the scheduled event. If this is possible, your organization would need to provide a letter to the Greer Police Department prior to the event that states that the officer will be covered by your organization. You will then be able to pay the officer directly at the end of the event.
   
   
2. If your organization can not cover Worker’s Compensation this can still be arranged by entering into a Secondary Employment Agreement with the City of Greer. All parties will sign the agreement that outlines the payment requirements plus a $10.00 per officer administrative fee. Total payment for the officer including the administrative fee will then be made to the City of Greer no later than three working days following the event. The officer will then be covered by Worker’s Compensation through the City of Greer and will receive payment for working the event on the next scheduled pay day.
   

The number of officers required to work any special event may be contingent upon the size of the expected crowd and whether alcohol will be served.

A copy of the Secondary Employment Agreement may be obtained by calling Lt. Eric Pressley at 848-2188. Other details may be discussed at that time as well.
