B . Should the Chief of Police determine that the best <br /> interests of the City will be served thereby, he or his designee <br /> may permit an employee to be compensated for overtime work by <br /> taking paid compensatory time off at the rate of one and one-half <br /> (1-1/2) times the employee' s regular rate of pay. <br /> C. Eligible employees may convert time and one-half (T <br /> 1/2) paid overtime to time and one-half (T 1/2) compensatory time <br /> off, with the prior permission of the employee' s supervisor and <br /> subject to the operational needs of the department . This conversion <br /> shall be limited to the accumulation of eighty (80) hours of <br /> earned, unused compensatory time off benefits . <br /> Twice during each calendar year, on March 15th and <br /> November 15th, each affected employee having accrued compensatory <br /> time off credits, may elect to convert up to forty (40) hours of <br /> such accrued time off credits to the cash equivalent thereof, to a <br /> maximum of eighty (80) hours per calendar year. <br /> D. Time off with pay to compensate for overtime worked <br /> may be accumulated, subject also to limitations herein elsewhere <br /> provided, to a maximum of eighty (80) hours . <br /> E . Because each hour of overtime worked is <br /> programmatically accrued on a time and one-half (T 1/2) basis, <br /> compensatory time off will be taken, and monetary payment will be <br /> paid, on a straight-time basis . Also, upon termination, any earned, <br /> unused compensatory time off ( "time-on-the-books") will be paid on <br /> a straight-time basis . <br /> Section 5 . Incremental Usage . Time off with pay to <br /> compensate for overtime worked may be taken in increments as small <br /> as one-half (1/2) hour. <br /> Section 6 . Excess Usage . If compensatory time off is used in <br /> excess of that available such excess compensatory time off will, <br /> first, be deducted from any available vacation benefits and <br /> finally, deducted from the next scheduled wage or salary payment . <br /> Section 7 . No Effect on Other Benefits. Overtime work shall <br /> not apply to the earning of employee benefits (retirement, <br /> holidays, vacation accrual, sick leave accrual and employee <br /> insurance benefits) , toward the completion of probationary period <br /> or to progression within a salary rate range . <br /> Section 8 . Overtime Work to be Apportioned. To the extent <br /> that he/she is reasonably able to do so, the Chief of Police shall <br /> arrange work programs to minimize overtime work; necessary overtime <br /> work shall be apportioned among employees of like classification <br /> and assignment . <br /> 19 <br />
