(A) Maintenance employees: 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. A non-paid 60-minute lunch break will be normally taken from 12:00 p.m. (noon) to 1:00 p.m.
(B) Office employees: 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. A non-paid 60-minute lunch break will be normally taken from 12:00 p.m. (noon) to 1:00 p.m. unless circumstances dictate it be taken earlier or later.
(C) The employees will be reimbursed for hours worked in excess of their regular workweek at the rate of one and one-half times their normal hourly rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of the regular work week.
(D) If an eligible employee is required to work on any established holiday, which may or may not be a part of the regular work week, the employee shall be compensated for the hours worked at the overtime rate as outlined in division (C) above. Said overtime compensation shall be in addition to the normal holiday pay received by the employee.
(E) (1) Emergency work time spent by an employee above the normal 40 hours shall be compensated with compensatory time during the next 80 hours of work period. If not taken as compensatory time, the employee shall be paid for such time at one and one-half times his or her normal pay rate.
(2) Snow removal and all utilities emergencies shall constitute most of these instances.
(F) (1) Non-exempt employees entitled to overtime pay may elect to receive compensatory time off instead of a cash payment. The Village Board approves this on a case-by-case basis. If the compensatory time option is exercised, the employee is credited with one and one-half times the hours worked in excess of 40 hours as compensatory time. Maximum accruals of compensatory time shall be limited to 40 hours for regular employees. After maximum accrual, overtime compensation shall be paid.
(2) Employees may use compensatory time within a reasonable time period after making a request to the Village Clerk unless doing so would unduly disrupt village operations. Compensatory time should be used for short-term absences from work during times mutually agreed to by the employee and the immediate supervisor or Village Board. The accumulation of compensatory time to be used as a substitute for extended vacation time off is not normally permitted.
(3) If any employee is unable to use accrued compensatory time within a reasonable period, not more than 90 days, the employee will be paid his or her original overtime wage at the end of the fiscal year.
