Consider Compensato~ Time Policy Change for Exempt Employees City Administrator Pat I~aers stated that he is requesting that the compensatory time policy for exempt employees be changed. Mr. I~aers stated that the current policy states that exempt employees may take no more than four hours of comp time off in one day and no more than ten hours in one week. Mr. I~aers noted that this policy may not treat all exempt employees fairly. He noted that another reason for the change is to be sure that the city is in compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Mr. I~aers indicated that the easiest and cleanest way to ensure compliance with FLSA and in order for the city to be fair to all employees is to eliminate the recording of comp time. Mr. I~aers stated that the change will not impact how the city does business but only how hours are recorded. It was noted that this is not an uncommon practice for municipalities.
