Complete records of overtime of employees shall be maintained by each department head and the Director of Finance.
(Ord. 56-96. Passed 6-3-96.)
(b) Overtime Compensation for Certain Salaried Employees. A salaried employee included on the list of occupational titles in a position of Water Maintenance Crew Leader, Sewer Maintenance Crew Leader, Street Maintenance Crew Leader, Parks and Forestry Crew Leader, and Vehicle Maintenance Manager when required to work pursuant to subsection (a) hereof shall be paid at the rate of time and one-half the regular rate for all hours worked over eight in any one day or for all hours worked over forty in any one week, whichever is greater, but not for both. The work schedule shall be maintained by the division's administrative head or his appointed deputy and filed with the employee's work record with the Treasurer.
(Ord. 10-2013. Passed 1-22-13.)
Those employees listed above may elect to take compensatory time off in place of overtime pay. Should an employee elect to accumulate compensatory time in lieu of overtime pay for any overtime worked, the employee may request such compensatory time using the applicable form provided by the City. Request for compensatory time must be submitted to the employee’s Foreman no later than when the employee’s pay sheets are submitted, otherwise the employee will be paid for the overtime.
No employee may accumulate more than forty hours of compensatory time within one calendar year and it shall be accumulated at the overtime rate. Compensatory time must be used by the last pay period of each calendar year and those hours not used at that time will be paid in cash at the rate of pay of when they were earned. Compensatory time must be taken in increments of not less than one hour. Requests for leave chargeable to compensatory time will be formulated in accordance with procedures established by the City and must not present a scheduling conflict or interfere with the orderly operation of the division or section.
(Ord. 5-2001. Passed 1-2-01.)
(1) All hours not worked Monday through Friday, or through the normally scheduled work week, for any personal reason of the employee, shall be offset against hours worked on Saturday and Sunday, or the sixth and seventh day of the normal work week, and shall be paid at the straight time rate. For example, an employee with a normal work week of Monday through Friday who has an excused absence for eight hours on Friday for personal reasons and then returns to work on Saturday, a normal day off, and works eight hours, shall not be permitted to count as hours worked for overtime purposes those hours for the excused absence and thus the Saturday hours shall be paid at straight time.
(2) On legal holidays as so recognized herein by the City, an employee who has worked the last scheduled full work day preceding the holiday and the first scheduled full work day following the holiday shall receive credit for overtime purposes, for the number of hours he was normally scheduled to work. For example, an employee with a normal five day, forty hour week has a holiday on Monday and works the balance of the week as follows:
Monday - holiday | |
Tuesday through Friday - 8 hours each | 32 hours |
Saturday - 8 hours | 8 hours |
Total actually worked | 40 hours |
Such employee’s calculation would be as follows: | |
Hours worked | 40 hours |
Holiday credit - not worked | 8 hours |
Hours credited for overtime | 48 hours |
8 hours’ overtime at 1.5 | 12 hours |
Hours worked at straight time | 32 hours |
Straight time pay - hours worked | 44 hours |
Holiday pay - 8 hours not worked | 8 hours |
Total at straight time | 52 hours |
(Ord. 56-96. Passed 6-3-96.)
(c) Emergency Call-In. An employee, other than those listed in Section 139.03
(d(3) and (4), except the Water Maintenance Crew Leader, Sewer Maintenance Crew Leader, Street Maintenance Crew Leader, Parks and Forestry Crew Leader, and Vehicle Maintenance Manager called into work to do unscheduled, unforeseen or emergency work other than during his regularly scheduled work period shall be paid a minimum of four hours' pay at the regular rate or actual hours worked at the applicable overtime rate, whichever is greater; provided, however, that this emergency call-in provision shall not apply when an employee is called in early to his regular scheduled work period and works continuously from the time of so reporting for such early call-in to his regular scheduled work period. For example, if an employee's regular work day is 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., no call-in pay would be applicable if the employee was called in at 7:30 a.m. and worked through to the beginning of his regular work day of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Ord. 10- 2013. Passed 1-22-13.)
(d) Duplicating or Pyramiding of Overtime Pay. There shall be no duplicating or pyramiding of any overtime pay for the same hours worked. When one or more premium or overtime rate is payable, the single higher rate shall apply.
(Ord. 56-96. Passed 6-3-96.)
