Department Head or authorized designee. <br /> For example_ <br /> An employee working a Monday through Friday work schedule who takes nine (9) hours <br /> of vacation leave on Monday and works their normal thirty-one (3.1) hours Tuesday <br /> through Friday, would not earn overtime for two (2) hours they volunteered to work extra <br /> on Saturday. However, if that same employee had been required by their supervisor or <br /> management to work the two (2) hours on Saturday, as opposed to volunteering, the two <br /> (2) hours would be compensated as overtime. <br /> 6.4 Compensation for Overtime <br /> The City's preferred method by which overtime shall be compensated is by monetary <br /> payment, at one and one-half(1.5) times the employee's regular rate of pay, subject to the <br /> provisions of Section 6.5. <br /> 6.5 Compensatory Time <br /> A. Overtime Conversion to Comi2ensatory Time <br /> Should the Department Head determine that the best interests of the City will be <br /> served thereby, their designee may permit an employee to be compensated for <br /> overtime work by earning compensatory time off at the rate of one and one-half <br /> (1.5) hours for each overtime hour worked. <br /> B. Maximum Accumulation of Compensatory Time <br /> Employees shall have the option, with Department Head approval, to earn up to a <br /> maximum of eighty (80) hours of compensatory time off. <br /> C. Use of Compensatory Time <br /> 1. Since compensatory time is earned at one and one-half(1.5)hours for each hour <br /> of overtime worked, eighty (80) hours of compensatory time equates to fifty- <br /> three point thirty-three (53.33) hours of overtime worked. <br /> 2. Such compensatory time off shall be taken at the discretion of the employee <br /> when requested at least seventy-two (72) hours in advance, subject to the <br /> operational needs and staffing requirements of the department. <br /> 3. if the Department Head or their designee subsequently denies the requested <br /> compensatory time off, the employee and department will mutually agree on a <br /> future date within one (1) year when the employee can use the paid <br /> compensatory time off. <br /> 2025 MOU City of Santa Ana&SEIU Full-Time Employees Unit Page 32 <br />
