ARTICLE VI <br />6.0 OVERTIME <br />6.1 General Policy for Overtime Work. When it shall be determined to be in the public interest <br />for employees to perform overtime work, or in an emergency situation, the City Manager, <br />the Department %Iead, or a duly authorized representative of the City Manager or the <br />Department Head, may require an employee to perform overtime work. <br />6.2 Definition. Overtime work is defined as Authorized or required time worked in excess of <br />40 hours in the workweek schedule for a particular classification and organizational unit <br />of an employee. A workweek is a Fixed and regularly recurring period of 168 <br />consecutive hours — 7 consecutive 24-hour periods — as designated by the appointing <br />authority. An employee's work schedule within the workweek shall not be changed to <br />avoid payment of overtime; provided, however, nothing shall abridge management's right <br />to establish and change work schedules and assignments in accordance with the rights of <br />management contained in Article XX, City Rights. <br />6.3 Computation of Forty (40) Hour Workweek In computing the forty (40) hour workweek, <br />the following type of work hours shall be included in the computation; actual hours <br />worked, jury/witness leave and bereavement leave. Any combination of these hours in <br />excess of forty (40) hours per work week shall entitle the employee to overtime. <br />Work on an observed Holiday which would otherwise be a scheduled clay off for the <br />employee will be paid as overtime. <br />Any paid time off during the workweek such as vacation leave, sick leave, holiday leave, <br />Chapter Chair/President's Leave and Union Business Leave, as well as all unpaid leave <br />including furlough days shall not be counted towards the hours worked in a workweek for <br />the computation of overtime unless the hours in excess of forty (40) hours in a workweek <br />(including the above listed time) are worked by the employee at the requirement of <br />management. For example, an employee workings Monday through Friday work schedule <br />who takes 9 hours of vacation leave on Monday and works his normal 31 hours Tuesday <br />through Friday, would not earn overtime for 2 hours he volunteered to work extra on <br />Saturday. However, if that same employee had been required by management to work the <br />2 hours on Saturday as opposed to volunteering, the 2 hours would be compensated as <br />overtime. <br />6.4 Compensation for Overtime. <br />A. The preferable method by which overtime shall be compensated is by monetary <br />payment, at one and one-half (1 1/2) times the employee's regular rate of pay, <br />subject to the provisions of Subsection "C" below. <br />27 <br />
