SECTION 10 - OVERTIME & COMPENSATORY TIME City Administrator, Park & Recreation Director, Public Works Superintendent Director, Building Official, City Clerk and Finance Director - These employees are paid on an annual salary basis, therefore, exempt from both overtime and compensatory time requirements. This handbook and this provision do not apply to exempt employees hired after July 12, 1995. All Other Regular Employees - All such employees shall be entitled to pay at the rate of time and one-half for all hours worked in excess of eight (8) hours per work day. Compensatory Time (Comp Time) and Paid Time Off (PTO) cannot be combined with “hours worked” in determining eligibility for overtime pay and/or compensatory time. In lieu of overtime pay, the employee may elect compensatory time off at the rate of one and one-half hour compensatory time for each hour worked in excess of eight (8) hours per work day. Employees are required to have the prior approval of their supervisor in order to work overtime. In the case of an employee who requests to work less than their normal 8-hour work schedule on a given day due to personal needs, and upon approval by the City Administrator, that employee may be allowed to make up the time during the same 40-hour work week (Wednesday through Tuesday) at straight time. Example, employee works 7 ½ hours on Monday, can make up the half hour the next day, thus working 8 ½ hours on Tuesday. This 8 ½ hours is paid at straight time and overtime or comp time would not be generated. If the time cannot be made up during the same work week, the employee will be required to use PTO and/or comp time to make up their time. Use of compensatory time shall in all cases be subject to the needs of municipal service and prior approval of the employee's supervisor. Each supervisor shall be responsible for providing the City Administrator with an accurate accounting of all such hours worked by an employee. It shall be the duty of the City Administrator to obtain from supervisors and to maintain on file accurate records for all employees, showing the amount of compensatory time accrued and used by each City employee. It shall be the duty of the employee to provide an accurate accounting of compensatory time during each pay period. Compensatory time may be accrued to a maximum of forty (40) hours. Accrual of comp Time in excess of forty (40) hours must be approved by the City Administrator. Temporary or Seasonal Employees – All such employees shall be entitled to pay at the rate of time and one-half for all hours worked in excess of forty (40) hours per work week. Parks seasonal workers are paid a shift differential for any hours worked outside the regular workday. The regular workday is Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays, Sundays, holidays and weekday hours before 6 a.m. or after 5 p.m. are defined as other than the normal workday. 12
