PTO does not count toward “hours worked.” Hours paid for Holiday Leave shall be considered as hours worked to determine overtime. Compensation will take the form of either time-and-one-half pay or compensatory time. Compensatory time is paid time off at the rate of one-and-one-half hours off for each hour of overtime worked. When converting annual pay rates into hourly pay rates for the purpose of computing overtime, the annual rate shall be divided by 2,080 hours. • Regular Full-Time Non-Exempt Employees Regular full-time non-exempt employees in departments other than public works will receive compensatory time for any excess hours, with a cap of 40 hours for accrued compensatory time. At the discretion of the Department Head and based on the employee’s request, overtime may be used to compensate for unusual circumstances. Employees can earn and accrue compensatory time up to this cap. Employees who have reached the cap will be required to take compensatory time before using personal time. The City reserves the right to pay down or pay off, with cash payments, an employee’s accrued compensatory time, regardless of the amount, at the employees’ regular rate of pay. Salaried employees shall not receive pay from the City in excess of their authorized salaries, except as may be approved by the City Administrator. • Public Works Employee Overtime Full-time public works employees will be given the choice to receive overtime (cash payment) or compensatory time (time off) for any excess hours over 40 worked in the week.
