(a) Full-time non-bargaining municipal employees, whether compensated on a salary or hourly basis, who upon approval from his or her department head, shall be entitled to accumulate up to 120 hours per year of compensation time at a rate of one and one-half times the hours worked beyond a forty-hour work week. The department head shall have sole discretion in compensation time usage. As employees use compensation time, they may add time to the accumulated time as long as the total accumulated time does not exceed 120 hours.
(b) Compensation time off shall not be carried or credited beyond the calendar year in which it was earned. Such compensation time off shall be used during the calendar year in which it was earned within a reasonable time after the request, provided that such use would not unduly disrupt the operations of the department, as determined by the department head.
(c) If any compensation time off is not used during the calendar year in which it was earned, the employee shall be paid for the same in cash thirty-one days after the end of such calendar year.
(d) The department head shall maintain a continuing written record of compensation time which has been permitted and earned and shall have such records available for inspection and information by and for the Director of Finance.
