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 1/2) 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 (1/2) hour. <br /> <br />If compensatory time off is used in excess of that available, such excess <br />compensatory time off will, first, be deducted from any available vacation benefits; <br />finally, deducted from the next scheduled wage or salary 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.
