Non- exempt employees (eligible for overtime pax) are not authorized to take work home or work through lunch without prior approval from their supervisor. The city complies with applicable state and federal laws governing accrual and use of overtime. Only employees to whom the overtime provisions of the state and/or the federal FLSA apply are required to be compensated for overtime work.
