Shift coverage

Recently my employer has been cracking down on double time hours (I work in EMS so there’s plenty to go around). Normally if we call out of a shift we get an occurrence point and if you get enough of them you get a verbal warning and then a written warning all the way up to termination. My question is if I’m looking for coverage and I find it but the person I find would wind up being paid double time, can my employer deny the swap and give me an occurrence point for not being able to find someone they wouldn’t wind up paying double time for? I’m not sure what my state laws are but I live in CA.
