(a) Except as provided otherwise by this chapter, the additional work time policy for all non-exempt (NEx) employees shall be as follows: Time worked over forty (40) hours in one work week during any calendar year shall be taken as paid compensation or as approved in writing by the head of the department or division, may be taken as time off no later than October 1 of the following year. Additional time taken as paid compensation or as time off shall be calculated at the rate of time and one half. The rate of any paid compensation shall be the rate in effect as of the dates when the additional work time accrued and will be paid to the employee for the pay period in which the additional work time accrued. Any additional work time must be approved in advance by the head of the applicable department or division.
(b) Beginning January 1, 2009, Salaried Exempt (SEx) employees may only accumulate time off for any time required to be worked over a normal forty-hour work week as is approved in writing by the Mayor. Accumulated time shall not be taken as paid compensation. This time will be accumulated at a one-to-one ratio of time worked to accumulated time-off. Time accumulated during any calendar year shall be taken as time off no later than October 1 of the following year. It may only be used to replace regular work hours and will not be paid out to the employee upon the employee leaving City employment for any reason.
(c) All additional work time shall be submitted to and tracked by the Department of Finance.
