(A) Management reserves the right to determine whether compensatory time off may be earned in lieu of overtime pay based upon the operational needs of the department or the village.
(B) Compensatory time off is paid time off equal to one and one-half times the amount of time worked in excess of 40 hours in a work week. For example: an employee who works 44 hours in a work week would receive the 40 hours of pay and accrue six hours of compensatory time off (four hours per one and one-half).
(C) (1) When an employee plans to take compensatory time off, such compensatory time of must be scheduled in advance and approved by the supervisor. Every effort should be made to accommodate the preference of the employee when scheduling compensatory time off unless the requested compensatory time off will unduly disrupt the department’s operations.
(2) Compensatory time off may be used for any purpose, but must be used prior to the use of vacation leave.
