(a) Salaried Employees – Employees who qualify for exemption from the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) overtime provisions based upon duties and who are assigned to a class or pay grade, if the class has multiple pay grades, with a first step biweekly rate, without bonuses, at or above the first step regular biweekly rate for the class and pay grade of Senior Personnel Analyst I, Code 9167-1, shall be treated as salaried employees as defined by the FLSA. Salaried employees will be paid the predetermined salary for each biweekly pay period and shall not receive overtime compensation. Salaried employees shall not be subject to any deductions from salary or any leave banks for any authorized absence from work for less than a full workday when these absences are occasional partial-day absences from work that are authorized by the appropriate supervisor designated by management. Partial-day absences that are long-term or recurring (e.g., intermittent leave/reduced work schedule for purposes of Family/Medical Leave) are subject to deductions from salary or leave banks. Salaried employees shall not be subject to disciplinary suspension for periods of less than a workweek (salaried employees can only be suspended in increments of a full FLSA workweek) unless based on violations of a safety rule of major significance or misconduct.
(b) Work Schedules – Salaried employees may be assigned 5/40, 4/10, 9/80 or other schedules at the discretion of their appointing authority. Notwithstanding any Los Angeles Administrative Code provision or other City department rules and regulations to the contrary, these employees shall not be required to record specific hours of work for compensation purposes, although hours may be recorded for other purposes.
(c) Accumulated Compensatory Time Off – Salaried employees with accumulated compensatory time off earned prior to becoming salaried shall be subject to the provisions of subsection 4.113(c).
(d) Additional Time Off – The appointing authority of each City department may grant time off for hours worked due to unusual circumstances. Such time off shall not be on an hour for hour basis for any additional hours worked.
(e) Compensation for Emergencies and Unusual Occurrences – In lieu of time off, the appointing authority may, with the approval of the Mayor, grant additional compensation to non-represented employees when an employee(s) is assigned by Management to work additional hours outside of an employee’s regular work schedule, in increments of a full day (8) hours, in unusual situations (e.g. earthquake, flood, sewage spills, emergency construction response, etc.). Compensation for each additional day shall be an amount equivalent to 4.6% of the monthly rate of the employee’s appropriate step rate, as indicated in the appropriate salary appendix.
