General Policy For Overtime Work. ~henever it shall be determined that the public interest requires it, or that an emergency situation requires it, the City Manager, the authorized department head, or a qualified representative of either, may require an employee to perform overtime work. Section 2290.1. Overtime Work: Definition. Overtime work is defined as: (a)That authorized or required time worked in excess of the normal work day, tour of duty, or work week schedule for the particular class and organizational unit of an employee; (b)Work on holidays for those employees who ordinarily would observe the holiday as it occurs with paid time off. Work amounting to less than thirty (30) minutes in excess of the normal work day or tour of duty shall not be considered overtime, unless otherwise provided herein. Section 2290.2. ~omputation of 40-hour Week. In computing a 40-hour week, paid leave for holidays, sickness, vacation, and other time off with pay shall be credited toward the total. Section 2290.3. Compensation for Overtime: Preferred Method. The preferable method by which overtime work shall be com- pensated is by monetary payment, at one and one-half (1 1/2) times the rate for regular work, or as otherwise provided herein. Should the department head determine that the best interests of the city will be served thereby he may direct or permit an employee to be compensated for overtime work by taking time off, with pay, for a period equal in duration to overtime worked, commonly referred to as "straight time". Such time off with pay as compensation for overtime worked shall be taken as soon as practicable after it is earned. Section 2290.4. Overtime: No Effect on Other Benefits. Overtime work shall not apply to the earning of employee benefits, toward the completion of probationary periods, or to progression within a salary range. -1-
