an employee's regular workday shall not be considered overtime. <br /> Effective April 15, 1986, said thirty-minute per-day overtime exclusion <br /> shall apply only to employees exempted from coverage under the overtime <br /> provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). <br /> A workweek is a fixed and regularly recurring period of 168 <br /> consecutive hours - 7 consecutive 24-hour periods - as designated by the <br /> appointing authority. <br /> Section 3. Computation of Forty (40) Hour Workweek. In computing a <br /> regular workday and/or workweek, paid leave for holidays, sickness, <br /> vacation, and other time off with pay shall be credited towards the total. <br /> Section 4. Compensation for Overtime. <br /> A. The preferable method by which overtime shall be <br /> compensated is by monetary payment, at one and one-half (1 1/2) times the <br /> employee's regular rate of pay. <br /> B. Should the Chief of Police determine that the best <br /> interests of the City will be served thereby, he or his designee may <br /> permit an employee to be compensated for overtime work by taking paid <br /> compensatory time off at the rate of one and one-half (1 1/2) times the <br /> employee's regular rate of pay. <br /> C. Eligible employees may convert time and one-half (T 1/2) <br /> paid overtime to time and one-half (T 1/2) compensatory time off, with <br /> the prior permission of the employee's supervisor and subject to the <br /> operational needs of the department. This conversion shall be limited to <br /> the accumulation of eighty (80) hours of earned, unused compensatory time <br /> off benefits. <br /> Twice during each calendar year, on April 1st and December <br /> 1st, each affected employee having accrued compensatory time off credits, <br /> may elect to convert up to forty (40) hours of such accrued time off <br /> credits to the cash equivalent thereof, to a maximum of eighty (80) hours <br /> per calendar year. <br /> D. Time off with pay to compensate for overtime worked may be <br /> accumulated, subject also to limitations herein elsewhere provided, to a <br /> maximum of eighty (80) hours. <br /> E. Because each hour of overtime worked is programmatically <br /> accrued on a time and one-half (T 1/2) basis, compensatory time off will <br /> be taken, and monetary payment will be paid, on a straight-time basis. <br /> Also, upon termination, any earned, unused compensatory time off <br /> ("time-on-the-books") will be paid on a straight-time basis. <br /> Section 5. Incremental Usage. Time off with pay to compensate for <br /> overtime worked may be taken in increments as small as one-half (1/2) <br /> hour. <br /> -14- <br />
