<br />6.4 Compensation for Overtime. <br /> <br />A. The preferable method by which overtime shall be compensated is by monetary <br />payment, at one and one-half (I Yz) times the employee's regular rate of pay, <br />subject to the provisions of Subsection "c" below. <br /> <br />B. Should the Department Head determine that the best interests of the City will be <br />served thereby, his or her designee may permit an employee to be compensated <br />for overtime work by taking paid compensatory time off at the rate of one and <br />one-half (I \'2) times the employee's regular base rate of pay. <br /> <br />C. Employees shall have the option to convert a maximum of eighty (80) hours of <br />time and one-half (I Yz) paid overtime (in compensation for 53 1/3 overtime hours <br />worked) to time and one-half (I Yz) compensatory time off benefits. Such <br />compensatory time off shall be taken at the discretion of the employee subject to <br />the operational needs and staffing requirements of the department. <br /> <br />D. Time off with pay to compensate for overtime worked may be accumulated to a <br />maximum of eighty (80) hours. <br /> <br />E. Because each hour of overtime worked is programmatically accrued on a time and <br />one-half (1 Yz) 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 <br />basis. <br /> <br />F. Time off with pay to compensate for overtime worked may be taken in increments <br />as small as a half (\'2) hour. <br /> <br />G. 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 />H. 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 <br />the overtime work was performed. In the absence of such recording, no <br />compensatory time off with pay will be permitted. <br /> <br />I. Upon an employee's appointment to a position in which overtime may not be <br />earned or upon an employee's separation from employment with the City by <br />resignation, retirement, layoff or otherwise, he or she shall forthwith be <br />compensated for any overtime accumulated to the time immediately preceding <br />such promotion or separation. <br /> <br />6.5 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 <br />probationary period or to progression within a salary rate range. <br /> <br />20 <br />
