Full-time employees are expected to work forty hours per week, except for firefighters or police officers under certain circumstances. All employees shall work their scheduled hours pursuant to work schedules established by their department heads with the approval of the city manager. Except as otherwise provided, employees shall not be paid for travel time from home to the site of their work within the city or from the work site to their home. Actual work periods may fluctuate at the discretion of the department heads.
A. In the event municipal revenues decline, the city commission may elect to adopt a FLSA Section K exemption for police officers assigned to the patrol division. This exemption will cause officers to be placed on an eighty-six (86) hour pay period or one hundred seventy-two (172) hours every twenty-eight (28) days. Officers will not be eligible for overtime or compensatory time until they have worked in excess of eight-six (86) hours in a fourteen (14) day period.
