employee's regular workday shall not be considered overtime. <br /> action 3. Computation of Forty (40) Hour Workweek. In computing a <br /> regular workday and/or workweek, paid leave for holidays, sickness, vacation, <br /> and other time off with pay shall be credited towards the total. <br /> $ection 4. Compensation for Overtime. <br /> A. The preferable method by which overtime shall be compensated is <br /> by monetary payment, at one and one-half (1 1/2) times the employee's regular <br /> rate of pay. <br /> B. Effective upon the first month following the execution of this <br /> Agreement, sworn, safety-member personnel will no longer be required to <br /> accumulate forty-eight (48) hours of unused compensatory time off (CTO) <br /> benefits (for 32 hours of overtime actually worked) in order to be entitled to <br /> receive cash payment for overtime work; provided however, that any unused CTO <br /> "on the books" as of that date shall not be compensable by monetary payment, <br /> except as provided for in Section 13 of this Article, and must be taken off in <br /> the manner herein elsewhere provided. <br /> C. Should the Chief of Police determine that the best interests <br /> of the City will be served thereby, he or his designee may permit an employee <br /> to be compensated for overtime work by taking paid compensatory time off at <br /> the rate of one and one-half (1 1/2) times the employee's regular rate of pay. <br /> D. Eligible employees may convert time and one-half (T 1/2) paid <br /> overtime to time and one-half (T1/2) compensatory time off, with the prior <br /> permission of the employee's supervisor and subject to the operational needs <br /> of the department. This conversion shall be limited to the accumulation of <br /> sixty (60) hours of earned, unused compensatory time off benefits. <br /> E. Time off with pay to compensate for overtime worked may be <br /> accumulated, subject also to limitations herein elsewhere provided, to a <br /> maximum of sixty (60) hours. <br /> F. Because each hour of overtime worked is programmatically accrued <br /> on a time and one-half (T 1/2) basis, compensatory time off will be taken, and <br /> monetary payment will be paid, on a straight-time basis. Also, upon <br /> termination, any earned, unused compensatory time off ("time-on-the-books") <br /> will be paid on a straight-time basis. <br /> Section 5. Incremental Usage. Time off with pay to compensate for <br /> overtime worked may be taken in increments as small as one-half (1/2) hour. <br /> Section 6, Excess Usage. If compensatory time off is used in excess of <br /> that available such excess compensatory time off will, first, be deducted <br /> from any available vacation benefits (in whole hours only since vacation hours <br /> are not recorded in fractions); finally, deducted from the next scheduled wage <br /> or salary payment. <br /> Section 7. No Effect cp Other Benefits. Overtime work shall not apply <br /> to the earning of employee benefits (retirement, holidays, vacation accrual, <br /> sick leave accrual and employee insurance benefits), toward the completion of <br /> probationary period or to progression within a salary rate range. <br /> 13 <br />
