(B) Overtime, emergency call-outs and standbys, premium time, double time, and meals.
(1) Overtime. Employees in the Department of Public Service may be required to work overtime, unless unusual or emergency circumstances prevent the employee from doing so. Employees entitled to overtime compensation under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) shall be paid at a rate of one and one-half times the employee's hourly rate for all hours actually worked more than 40 hours in a work week. For purposes of overtime computation, the use of vacation, personal leave, compensatory leave, bereavement leave, jury duty leave and holidays shall be considered as time worked in computing whether more than 40 hours are worked in a work week. Anticipated sick leave absences shall also be counted in computing whether more than 40 hours are worked in a work week, provided that the employee completes and submits an authorized request for leave form to Human Resources no later than the day prior to the day of the scheduled absence. Sick leave absences requested on the day of the absence or later shall be considered as unscheduled absences and that leave time shall not count as time actually worked in computing whether more than 40 hours are worked in a work week. Employees entitled to overtime compensation under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) who routinely work a 48 hour schedule in an assigned department and who use sick leave that is considered unscheduled shall not have that time count as time actually worked for a seventh workday within the work week in computing whether more than 40 hours are worked in a workweek.
(2) Overtime exempt employees. Employees to whom the city is not required to pay overtime compensation under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) may be required to work overtime but shall not be entitled to receive overtime compensation. Employees exempt from receiving overtime compensation shall be notified in writing and such notification shall be documented and maintained in the employee's personnel file.
(3) Stand-by pay. In the Department of Public Service, a supervisor may designate an employee entitled to overtime compensation under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) as being on standby on a given weekday, weekend or holiday. Employees so designated shall report for duty on an emergency call-out. Employees designated as being on stand-by shall receive two hours of compensation times their normal hourly rate of pay for each 24 hours of stand-by beginning on Monday through Friday and three hours of compensation times their normal hourly rate of pay for each 24 hours of stand-by beginning on Saturday, Sunday or a paid holiday. The designated hours of stand-by may be established within the department. Stand-by pay shall be paid in addition to call-out pay.
(4) Emergency call-out pay. An employee in the Department of Public Service who is entitled to overtime compensation under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) who is on standby and is called to work during a weekday standby (beginning Monday through Friday) shall be paid at a rate of three and one-half times the employee's normal hourly rate of pay for the first hour of work and if called to work during a weekend or holiday standby (beginning on Saturday, Sunday or a holiday) shall be paid at a rate of four and one-half times the employee's normal hourly rate of pay for the first hour of work. All time worked beyond the first hour on an emergency call-out will be compensated at a rate one and one-half times the employee's normal hourly rate of pay except that if an employee is called out prior to the start of the employee's regularly assigned shift and continued to remain on duty into the employee's regularly assigned shift, the employee shall be compensated at the employee's regular rate of pay at the beginning of the regularly assigned shift. Employees are eligible for emergency call-out pay regardless of the number of hours worked in the week. An employee scheduled on a standby beginning on a weekend or holiday may receive the four and one-half hours of pay for the first hour worked only one time during a standby period and any subsequent call-out shall be paid at a rate of three and one-half hours for the first hour worked. Employees who are not scheduled to be on stand-by but who report for duty on a call-out shall be paid at the employee's normal hourly rate for three and one-half hours for the first hour of work and at the employee's normal hourly rate for one and one-half hours for time worked beyond the first hour except that if the employee reports for duty on a call-out and continues to remain on duty into the employee's regularly assigned shift, the employee shall be compensated at the employee's regular rate of pay at the beginning of the regularly assigned shift.
(5) Earned rest. A full-time employee who works in excess of 16 continuous hours, excluding a meal period, or in excess of 16 work hours in any 24 hour period, without at least eight continuous hours off, shall be entitled to a rest period of eight continuous hours upon being released from duty. An employee will be paid his regular straight time rate for the time an earned rest period overlaps his regularly scheduled work hours and will report to duty, unless properly excused at the conclusion of the rest period, if the rest period expires during his/her regularly scheduled hours. Following the rest period, the employee shall report for duty and be paid at his/her regular rate for the balance of the regularly scheduled work period.
(6) Premium time pay. An employee in the Department of Public Service who is entitled to overtime compensation under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) who is called to work on an unscheduled basis between the hours of 12:00 a.m. and 4:30 a.m. shall be entitled to two hours of premium pay at a rate two times the employee's normal hourly rate of pay in addition to other compensation received for said call out work. An employee may only receive premium pay one time on a given day, regardless of the number of times the employee is called out during the period.
(7) Double time pay. An employee in the Department of Public Service who is entitled to overtime compensation under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) who is required to work more than 16 continuous hours (excluding the meal period) shall be compensated at two times the employee's normal hourly rate of pay for all time worked in excess of 16 hours, regardless of the number of hours worked in the workweek.
(8) Ineligibility for standby or call-out pay. An employee who uses sick leave for an unscheduled absence for one full shift is not eligible to be on standby or receive standby pay or to be subject to or receive compensation for emergency call-out on the day that the employee is absent from work. An employee who utilizes sick leave due to a death in the immediate family or who utilizes bereavement leave is also not eligible to be on standby or receive standby pay or to be subject to or receive compensation for an emergency call-out on the day that the employee is absent from work. In the case of a large scale emergency, the Director of Public Service may waive the provisions of this division. An employee shall be eligible to be on standby and to receive standby pay and to be subject to and receive compensation for emergency call-outs during periods of vacation, personal leave or compensatory time off.
(9) Meals. If an employee in the Department of Public Service is required to actually work 11 or more hours excluding the meal period, the employee shall be furnished a meal at the end of the 11th hour. The employee shall also be furnished a meal for each subsequent six-hour period until released from duty. If an employee in the Department of Public Service is called to work without notice, the employee shall be furnished a meal after approximately six hours of work and approximately every six hours of work thereafter until released from duty. If a call-out occurs at or near a normal meal period and the employee reports to work without having eaten, the employee shall be furnished a meal unless the employee is released from duty within three hours of reporting to work. In order to be reimbursed for a meal, an employee must submit the actual receipt from the retail establishment.
(10) Meal opt-out. Any employee who is entitled to a meal at the time he/she is released from overtime work may, at his/her option, elect to receive 80% of one hour of pay at his/her rate of pay in lieu of such a meal.
(11) Protective footwear and clothing allowance. Employees in the Department of Public Service whose job classifications require them to routinely work outside exposing them to the elements of the weather so as to necessitate a particular need for clothing and protective footwear shall be entitled to an annual clothing allowance (including footwear). A full-time employee shall receive a clothing allowance of $400 annually. The clothing allowance will be paid to each employee on or about March 1 each year. The appointing authority shall have the final discretion as to an employee's eligibility for a clothing allowance. The clothing allowance is not to be paid to Service Department employees with city-paid uniforms. The Appointing Authority at his or her discretion may elect to reimburse certain employees for footwear expenses based upon the specialized nature of the work performed. An employee shall be responsible for the tax consequences of the allowance paid, if applicable.
