(A) All city positions are designated as either “exempt” or “non-exempt” according to the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) regulations. Whether an employee is classified as exempt of non-exempt depends upon factors such as level of responsibility, prior knowledge and experience, education level and pay structure. The City Manager will determine how each position will be classified.
(B) For most city employees, the established work period is 40 hours within a seven-day work week. For law enforcement employees, the established work period is 80 hours during a 14-day period.
(C) Non-exempt employees are entitled to additional compensation, either in cash or compensatory time off, when they work more than 40 hours in a seven-day work week.
(D) All overtime must be authorized in advance by the employee’s department head.
(E) Overtime pay is calculated at one and one-half times the employee’s regular rate of pay for all time worked beyond the established work period.
(F) When computing overtime, holidays, sick leave and vacation time are not counted as hours worked.
(G) Exempt employees are not covered by the FLSA overtime provisions and do not receive overtime pay.
