ARTICLE VI 6.0 OVERTIME 6.1 General Policy for Overtime Work. When it shall be determined to be in the public interest for employees to perform overtime work, or in an emergency situation, the City Manager, the Department Head, or a duly authorized representative of the City Manager or the Department Head, may require an employee to perform overtime work. 6.2 Definition. Overtime work is defined as: That authorized or required time worked in excess of 40 hours in the workweek schedule for a particular classification and organizational unit of an employee. A workweek is a fixed and regularly recurring period of 168 consecutive hours - 7 consecutive 24-hour periods - as designated by the appointing authority. An employee's work schedule within the workweek shall not be changed to avoid payment of overtime; provided, however, nothing shall abridge management's right to establish and change work schedules and assignments in accordance with the rights of management contained in Article XX, infra. 6.3 Computation of Forty (40) Hour Workweek. In computing the forty (40) hour workweek, the following type of work hours shall be included in the computation: Actual hours worked, jury/witness leave and bereavement leave. Any combination of these hours in excess of forty (40) hours per work week shall entitle the employee to overtime. Work on an observed Holiday which would otherwise be a scheduled day off for the employee will be paid as overtime. Any paid time off during the workweek such as vacation leave, sick leave, holiday leave, President's Leave and Union Business Leave, as well as all unpaid leave including furlough days shall not be counted towards the hours worked in a workweek for the computation of overtime unless the hours in excess of forty (40) hours in a workweek (including the above listed time) are worked by the employee at the requirement of management. For example, an employee working a Monday through Friday work schedule who takes 9 hours of vacation leave on Monday and works his normal 31 hours Tuesday through Friday, would not earn overtime for 2 hours he volunteered to work extra on Saturday. However, if that same employee had been required by management to work the 2 hours on Saturday as opposed to volunteering, the 2 hours would be compensated as overtime. 6.4 Compensation for Overtime. A. The preferable method by which overtime shall be compensated is by monetary payment, at one and one-half (1 1/2) times the employee's regular rate of pay, subject to the provisions of Subsection "C" below. 30 25F-32
