City of Arden Hills Personnel Policy Effective February 29,2016 Employees shall not receive payment before the scheduled pay date without the prior consent of the City Administrator. When a pay date falls on an official holiday, employees will receive their direct deposit on the last working day before the holiday. Time Reporting Full-time, non-exempt employees are expected to work the number of hours per week as established for their position. In most cases, this will be 40 hours per workweek. They will be paid according to the time reported on their time sheets. To comply with the provisions of the federal and state Fair Labor Standards Acts, hours worked and any leave time used by non-exempt employees are to be recorded daily and submitted to payroll on a bi-weekly basis. Each time reporting form must include the signature of the employee and immediate supervisor. Reporting false information on a time sheet may be cause for immediate termination. Overtime/Compensatory Time The City has established this overtime policy to comply with applicable state and federal laws governing accrual and use of overtime. The Director of Administrative Services will determine whether each employee is designated as "exempt" or "non-exempt" from earning overtime. In general, employees in executive, administrative, and professional job classes are exempt; all other are non-exempt. Non-Exempt (Overtime-Eligible) Employees All overtime-eligible employees will be compensated at the rate of time-and-one-half for all hours worked over 40 in one workweek. Vacation, sick leave, and paid holidays do not count toward "hours worked." Compensation will take the form of either time-and-one- half pay or compensatory time. Compensatory time is paid time off at the rate of one- and-one-half hours off for each hour of overtime worked. For most employees the workweek begins at midnight on Sunday and runs until the following Saturday night at 11:59 p.m. Supervisors may establish a different workweek based on the needs of the department, subject to the approval of the City Administrator. The employee's supervisor must approve overtime hours in advance. An employee who works overtime without prior approval may be subject to disciplinary action. Overtime earned will be paid at the rate of time-and-one-half on the next regularly scheduled payroll date, unless the employee indicates on his/her timesheet that the overtime earned is to be recorded as compensatory time in lieu of payment. The maximum compensatory time accumulation for any employee is 40 hours per year. Once an employee has earned 40 hours of compensatory time in a calendar year, no further compensatory time may accrue in that calendar year. All further overtime will be 35
