Determination whether overtime worked shall be paid or taken in compensatory time off shall be made by the Division, Department or Agency Head for those employees who are not covered by or who are exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act (F.L.S.A.). Employees covered by the F.L.S.A. may at the discretion of the employee's supervisor elect to receive compensatory time in lieu of pay, provided that the employee does not accumulate comp time in excess of F.L.S.A. limitations or in an amount the City cannot reasonably expect to be able to grant.
Compensatory time shall be taken off in a way that shall not impair the operation for which the employee is responsible. It shall be the responsibility of the Division, Department or Agency Head to ensure that accumulated compensatory time be used by their employees when the workload of the operations permits. Any remaining vacation time must be scheduled before compensatory time off is permitted after October 1st of each year.
