(A) Typical working hours will be 8:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. Monday through Friday, however, a total of 40 hours per week shall be worked, and after which, the Marshal shall receive compensatory time off in lieu of overtime pay. Compensatory time will accrue after the Marshal has worked 40 hours in a work period, which shall include 30 minutes per shift for lunche3s, and shall be calculated on a hour per hour basis (e.g., working 41 hours in a work period will result in one hour of compensatory paid time off). Hours paid due to vacation, holiday, sick leave, or funeral leave shall not count towards the Marshal’s 40 hours, as these are not actual work hours. In the event the Marshal has accumulated more than 20 hours of compensatory time, the Marshal shall be paid for the hours in excess of 20 hours at their hourly rate of pay calculated as follows: Annual salary divided by 2,080 hours equals hourly rate of pay multiplied by the number of compensatory time hours that exceed 20 hours.
(B) During each eight-hour shift, the Marshal shall be entitled to 30 minutes for a meal and two 15-minute breaks, so long as the breaks do not interfere with the Marshal’s duties. It is expected that the Town Marshal will respond to calls for assistance from either the Town Council, citizens of the town or other law enforcement agencies throughout the day and night. In the event that action is needed during the day, or during a time when the Marshal is not otherwise engaged in his or her duties, the Marshal shall respond to the request in an appropriate and timely manner, and be permitted an equal amount of time off his or her regularly scheduled duties during the next shift.
