12 -09-09 Rest Break: When working under conditions where the use of a rest break is practical, Employees will be allowed to take a fifteen - minute break approximately midway through each four -hour shift. The time of the break is subject to the approval of the supervisor. Unused rest breaks may not be accumulated, nor may they be used for any purpose other than a mid -shift rest period. Unused rest breaks may not be used to leave work early. 6.5 Job Sharing General: Job sharing will be considered on an individual basis at an Employee's request. Arrangement should be made with the immediate supervisor. Any agreement between an Employee and supervisor is subject to approval by the Council. 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 dasses 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' /z) 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 pay or compensatory time. Compensatory time is paid time off at the rate of one and one -half (11/2) 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.
