Any hours worked outside of those scheduled shall be compensated at a rate of time and one-half or by compensatory time off. All full-time employees are eligible for compensatory time and shall not keep more than 40 hours on the books at any time. Employees may re-accumulate comp time up to 40 hours. Once compensatory time is built up to 40 hours, the employees shall be paid overtime for any hours worked outside of those scheduled. Compensatory time off can be used throughout the year by the employee just like vacation time as outlined in the Personnel Handbook with one exception, due to compensatory time being time worked, any unused compensatory time shall be cashed out the second pay period of December of each year. Compensatory time shall not be carried over to the next year. The Department of Labor issued a new rule that updates the regulations on salaried employees that are entitled to the minimum wage and overtime protection of the Fair Labor Standards Act, being 29 U.S.C. §§ 201 et seq. Beginning December 1, 2016, the village shall pay overtime or provide comp time to salary workers for overtime hours in excess of 40 per week.
