(a) “Overtime” means all hours worked in excess of forty hours per week (Sunday through Saturday).
(Ord. 2004-10. Passed 2-5-04.)
(b) “Hours worked” includes all the following hours:
(1) Hours of actual labor;
(2) Hours of paid holiday; (eight)
(3) Hours of paid vacation day; (eight)
(4) One-half hour per hour of actual labor on a paid holiday;
(5) Hours of compensatory time, other than hours cashed out at year’s end [also see subsection (h), infra].
“Hours worked” shall not include other time off, leave, unpaid sick days, or any other type of hours and/or days not enumerated above.
(Ord. 2016-03. Passed 2-4-16.)
(c) “Compensatory time” means time taken off from work by a qualified employee in lieu of accepting overtime pay. Compensatory time off work shall be computed on the basis of one and one-half hours off per every hour of overtime hours worked.
(d) Qualified employees shall be compensated for overtime in one of the following ways and at the employee’s option:
(1) Paid compensation at the rate of one and one-half times the employee’s regular hourly rate of pay per hour of overtime.
(2) Compensatory time off at the rate of one and one-half hours per hour of overtime.
(e) All overtime shall be duly authorized by the qualified employee’s supervisor or per other applicable ordinance or law.
(f) All overtime records shall be kept by the various department heads and/or supervisors, with copies forwarded to the Village Fiscal Officer for purposes of payroll. All qualified employees and their department heads and/or supervisors shall sign overtime and payroll records for the following purposes:
(1) To acknowledge their accuracy;
(2) To verify the computations;
(3) To indicate the employee’s overtime compensation choice under subsection (d) hereof;
(4) To assist the Village Fiscal Officer for purposes of payroll.
For each payroll period that a qualified employee has overtime hours worked, the employee shall make his overtime compensation choice under subsection (d) hereof, directly and in writing on the payroll records.
(g) Compensatory time shall be taken during the same calendar year as it is earned. All compensatory time not taken by the final pay date each calendar year shall be cashed out by the Village Fiscal Officer on a straight pay basis. Further, qualified employees may not bank or accumulate more than forty hours of compensatory time (26 2/3 unpaid overtime hours).
(h) Compensatory time taken by qualified employees is limited each pay period in such a manner as to not allow any qualified employee to earn overtime hours during any week compensatory time is taken [Note: to do otherwise would allow a geometric increase in compensation; i.e., 1 ½ x 1 ½]. Exception: Scheduled compensatory time plus other hours worked other than compensatory time can always be within the following guidelines during a work week:
Through Work Day One-8 Hours
Through Work Day Two-16 Hours
Through Work Day Three-24 Hours
Through Work Day Four-32 Hours
Through Work Day Five-40 Hours
(i) Compensatory time is to be scheduled by the qualified employee’s department head and/or supervisor.
(j) Salaried employees are not qualified or eligible to receive overtime or compensatory time compensation. (Ord. 2004-10. Passed 2-5-04.)
