The hours of work for each department, except the Police Department, will be recommended by the department superintendent with approval from the Town Manager. Any non-exempt employee, except a sworn member of the Police Department who is covered by the 28 consecutive day exception under the Fair Labor Standards Act, who works in excess of 40 hours per week, shall be paid overtime for those hours in excess of 40 hours per week. The rate of over time shall be 150% of the employee's regular hourly rate of pay. Sworn members of the Police Department will be governed, with respect to overtime, by the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Non-exempt employees who are required to attend special meetings shall be paid overtime if this attendance would make the employees' hours exceed 40 hours for that week. Hours worked in excess of 40 hours per week shall be worked only at the prior direction and authorization of the employee's supervisor.
