(A) For the purpose of this section, the following definition shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
OVERTIME. Any time worked beyond the established and prescribed usual week (37.5 or 40 hours) or shift (seven and one-half or eight hours).
(B) Any and all overtime will be worked only at supervisory request or with supervisory approval.
(C) Time off with pay to compensate for overtime may be granted at the discretion of the supervisor if Departmental economic conditions and work loads permit. Should compensatory time be granted, it will be calculated at the rate of one and one-half hour of overtime worked.
(D) The scheduling and approval of compensatory time off shall be at the supervisor’s discretion. Employee preference will be given consideration if that time off won’t adversely affect Departmental work activity.
(E) Compensatory time off must be scheduled prior to termination, as no cash payments will be made in lieu of any time accrued but not taken.
