(a) Compensation time for permanent, full-time employees for overtime hours worked shall be made in cash or by giving the employee compensatory time off. Overtime compensation shall be given to employees who work more than 40 hours in the work week.
(b) Overtime compensation for permanent, full-time employees shall be granted based on one and one-half hours compensation for each one hour worked. Each employee shall have the option to receive either a cash payment equal to one and one-half times the employee’s gross hourly rate or compensatory time equal to one and one-half hours off for each one hour worked. Compensatory time off for all employees will be made by an agreement between the employee and the supervisor and will be on a voluntary basis.
(c) Employees shall not work overtime without prior approval from their supervisor or the supervisor’s designee. If overtime hours are worked without prior approval, the employee shall not be compensated for those hours.
