(A) The town’s workday shall be a period of 24 hours commencing and ending at midnight. The workweek shall consist of seven consecutive days beginning 12:01 a.m. Monday morning. Employees will normally be expected to work eight hours during the workday and 40 hours during the workweek. However, the Town Council may require certain employees to work fewer hours. This provision shall not be construed as a guarantee of hours of work or pay. Actual hours of employment shall be established with flexibility by the department supervisors subject to review by the Town Council.
(B) Each employee is expected to observe his or her assigned hours of work. If an employee will be delayed or absent from work for any reason, advance notice shall be given to his or her supervisor. After an employee has been absent from work and is ready to return to work, he or she shall notify his or her supervisor at least 24 hours in advance. Tardiness will result in a loss of pay to the nearest quarter hour. Salaried employees shall have their salary prorated on an hourly basis for the purposes of this division (B).
(C) There shall be a mandatory lunch break in the eight-hour work period of at least 30 minutes. This lunch break shall be unpaid. Employees shall be allowed one 15-minute rest break for every four hours of work. Such break shall not interfere with current work in progress.
(D) The department supervisors shall keep accurate records of the hours and the times that employees report to work, the number of hours an employee works during the day, and the number of days an employee works during the week. No overtime shall be allowed unless approved by the department supervisor.
(E) A non-police employee who actually works more than 40 hours during the workweek shall be compensated for every hour worked over 40 at the rate of one and one-half times the hourly rate for his or her position. The Clerk-Treasurer is hereby authorized to pay amounts documented as overtime in excess of 40 hours actually worked per week.
