6.5 <br /> <br />to the provisions of Subsection "C" belo~v: <br /> <br />Should the Department Head determine that the best interests of the City will be <br />served thereby, he or his designee may permit an employee to be compensated for <br />overtime work by taking paid compensatory time off at the rate of one and one-half <br />(1 ½) times the employee's regular base rate of pay. <br /> <br />Employees shall have the option to convert a maximum of eighty (80) hours of time <br />and one-half (T ½) paid overtime (in compensation for 53 1/3 overtime hours <br />worked) to time and one-half (T ½) compensatory time off benefits. Such <br />compensatory time off shall be taken at the discretion of the employee subject to the <br />operational needs and staffing requirements of the department. <br /> <br />Time off with pay to compensate for overtime worked may be accumulated to a <br />maximum of eighty (80) hours. <br /> <br />Because each hour of overtime worked is programmatically accrued on a time and <br />one-half (T V=) basis, compensatory time off will be taken, and monetary payment <br />will be paid, on a straight-time basis. Also, upon termination, any earned, unused <br />compensatory time off ("time-on-the-books") will be paid on a straight-time basis. <br /> <br />Time off with pay to compensate for overtime worked may be taken in increments <br />as small as a half hour (½). <br /> <br />If compensatory time off is used in excess of that available, such excess <br />compensatory time off will be deducted from the next scheduled wage or salary <br />payment. <br /> <br />Time off with pay as compensation for overtime may not be granted or taken in <br />advance of the overtime work for which the time off compensates. Before <br />compensatory time off with pay may be taken, as herein provided, the overtime <br />worked must have been recorded on official payroll records at or about the time the <br />overtime work was performed. In the absence of such recording, no compensatory <br />time off with pay will be permitted. <br /> <br />Upon an employee's appointment to a position in which overtime may not be earned <br />or upon an employee's separation from employment with the City by resignation, <br />retirement, layoff or otherwise, he or she shall forthwith be compensated for any <br />overtime accumulated to the time immediately preceding such promotion or <br />separation. <br /> <br />No Effect on Other Benefits. Overtime work shall not apply to the earning of employee <br />benefits (retirement, vacation, and sick leave accrual), toward the completion of probationary <br />period, or to progression within salary rate range. <br /> <br />22 <br /> <br /> <br />
