If a permit cancellation is not completed within the required window, what is the deputy's minimum pay?

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

Answer: (B)

When a required action isn’t completed within the designated window, a fixed minimum payment is provided to acknowledge the time and effort involved in handling the cancellation. The four-hour minimum is set so the deputy receives baseline compensation for the administrative overhead, time away from normal duties, and readiness costs, even if the actual work ends up being shorter. The other options don’t fit because they either fall below this established minimum or exceed it as the baseline; the policy defines four hours as the minimum, with actual time potentially increasing pay if the job takes longer.
