(a) Overtime will be authorized by the appointing authority or designee when it is necessary to prevent loss of life, damage to property, or to continue essential City services. Only full-time non-exempt employees are eligible for overtime pay.
(b) Full-time employees required to work, in excess of the established regular work week, holidays and/or any paid leave during the scheduled work week, shall be compensated for the excess hours at the rate of one and one-half times their current rate of pay. Employees must submit a time sheet by noon on Monday in order to be paid for overtime in the prior two weeks. If not, overtime will be paid in the following pay period. Part-time employees must work more than forty hours per week in order to qualify for overtime pay.
(c) The work period for calculating overtime shall be 12:00 a.m. Saturday through 11:59 p.m. Friday, unless the City has established an alternative work period for certain classes of employees. The City's right to use dual calculations to compute overtime owed to employees covered by collective bargaining agreements remains intact.
(d) In case of death of an employee, any earned overtime hours worked credited to such employee shall be paid to the surviving spouse, or to the estate of the deceased, if there is no surviving spouse.
