(a) All employees shall receive compensation at a rate of one and one-half times the employee’s regular hourly rate for all work performed in excess of 40 hours in any one week.

(c) Overtime work shall be offered to employees best qualified to perform the required work as determined by the Supervisor of the Water Department.

(d) In any situation requiring overtime, the village will not be required to follow the procedures set forth in division (c) if notice of the need for overtime work is known less than one hour before the end of the shift.

This shall not apply to employees on vacation. Except for an employee who is absent, an employee shall not be charged with overtime credit if he or she is not personally contacted.
