SEC. 34-17.   OVERTIME AND PAID LEAVE FOR CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES.
   (a)   Weekly overtime. Any nonexempt employee will be paid an overtime hourly rate of 1-1/2 times the employee’s regular rate of pay for all hours worked over 40 in any work week.
   (b)   Paid leave. An employee is charged with paid leave only on days the employee would otherwise have been scheduled to work. If the employee is assigned to a standard work week, no more than 40 hours paid leave may be charged in one work week. If the employee is assigned to an approved alternate work schedule, the hours charged in one work week as paid leave may not exceed the maximum hours contained in the alternate work week during which the leave was taken. Except for holiday leave, mental health leave, compassionate leave, injury leave, quarantine leave, mandatory city leave, and court leave pursuant to Section 34-26 , paid leave will not be counted as work time for purposes of computing overtime or compensatory leave.
   (c)   Call backs. A nonexempt employee who is called back to work and reports back to work outside of the employee’s scheduled work hours must be paid a minimum of two hours worked, if the call back does not merge with the employee’s scheduled start time.
   (d)   Exception. This section does not apply to a sworn employee of the police department or the fire department. (Ord. Nos. 19340; 19473; 22296; 22318; 24052; 24873; 25389; 28024; 30216 ; 32604)
