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