(a) A full-time NON-EXEMPT employee may choose to bank compensatory time off at the applicable overtime rate for all hours worked which would otherwise result in compensation in excess of forty hours in a work week (i.e., including a work week which includes a legal holiday, or the use of a personal holiday, vacation or sick day). The maximum number of hours a full-time non-exempt employee may have on accrual will be limited to 240 hours.

(d) An employee may use no more than forty of his or her compensatory time accrual hours during any pay period as compensatory time.
