6.6 Overtime/ Compensatory Time General: The City of Centerville has established this overtime policy to comply with applicable state and federal laws governing accrual and use of overtime. The City Administrator 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 others are non-exempt. Non-Exempt Employees: All overtime-eligible Employees will be compensated at the rate of time and one-half (1 %) for all hours worked over 40 in one workweek. Personal leave and paid holidays will count toward "hours worked." Compensation will take the form of either overtime payor compensatory time. Compensatory time is paid time off at the rate of one and one-half (1 %) off for each hour of overtime worked. Workweek: The workweek is Sunday morning from 12:00 a.m. to Saturday evening at 11 :59 p.m. Approval: The Employee's supervisor must approve overtime hours in advance. An Employee who works overtime without prior approval may be subject to disciplinary action. Pre-authorization may be presumed by Employees in emergency situations such as excess snowfall, flood, severe storms, water main breaks, lift station malfunctions, or other similar situations where the immediate response of staff is required to avert endangerment of life, home or property. In the event of an emergency situation, the City Administrator shall be notified immediately. Compensatory Time: Overtime earned will be paid at the rate of time and one-half on the next regularly scheduled payroll date, unless the Employee and the Department Head mutually agree in advance the overtime will be banked as compensatory time in lieu of payment. This advance agreement can take the form of the Employee indicating on his/her timesheet that he/she would prefer to receive compensatory time rather than paid overtime for the overtime hours worked on that payroll period. Accumulation: The maximum compensatory time accumulation is forty (40) hours unless a higher amount is established by the City Council. Use of Compensatory Time: Employees may request and use compensatory time off in the same manner as other leave requests. Supervisors shall normally grant such requests, even if another Employee must be called in to cover the hours, unless it causes a serious disruption in business operations. Exempt Employees: Exempt Employees are expected to work whatever hours are necessary in order to meet the performance expectations outlined by their supervisors. Generally, to meet these expectations, and for reasons of public accountability, an exempt Employee will need to work forty (40) or more hours per week. Exempt Employees do not receive extra pay for the hours worked over forty (40) in one workweek. Salary Basis: Exempt Employees are paid on a salary basis. This means they receive a predetermined amount of pay each pay period and are not paid by the hour. Page 12 of 46 Adopted 11-09-2005
