Overtime All employees may be required to work overtime as requested by their supervisor. Refusal to work overtime as requested may result in disciplinary action. Supervisors will make reasonable efforts to balance the personal needs of their employees when assigning overtime work. All overtime must be authorized in advance by the employee's supervisor. An employee who works overtime without prior approval may be subject to disciplinary action. -Non-exempt employees (eligible for overtime pay) 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. The city administrator and human resources man�agerfesetitatwe will determine whether each employee is "exempt" or "non-exempt" in accordance with federal law. Overtime eligible (non-exempt) employees will be compensated at the rate of one and one-half times their base hourly rate for hours worked over 40 in one workweek. However, non-exempt employees employed in fire protection or law enforcement activities may be paid overtime based on the 7(k) exemption as defined by the FLSA (29 U.S.C. 5 207(k)). Vacation andl�-compensatory�cl leave hours taken during the workweek do not count toward "hours worked" for purposes of overtime. Holiday time off pursuant to the Holidays policy below), bereavement, and sick leave generally will count toward "hours worked" for non-exempt employees. Compensatory Time Overtime compensation will be paid for overtime hours, unless the employee and department director mutually agree in advance of performance of the work that the overtime will be banked as compensatory time in lieu of overtime compensation. Employees may request and use compensatory time off in the same manner as other leave requests. Compensatory time must be marked as such on timesheets, both when it is earned and used. Overtime hours not specified as compensatory time will be paid with overtime compensation. Finance maintains compensatory time records. Employees may accumulate and "bank" up to 40 hours of compensatory time. As compensatory time off is utilized, additional compensatory time may be banked, not to exceed 40 hours. Overtime earned after 40 hours of banked compensatory time will be paid at the overtime rate. No more than forty (40) hours of compensatory time may roll over from one calendar year to the next. Upon termination of employment, employees will be paid for all accrued but unused compensatory time. Call Out -Back and Premium -Pay Employees called to work on an unscheduled or emergency basis shall receive a minimum of two (2) hours overtime pay for returning to their designated work location and performing duties associated with the event requiring the call-back. Call backs resulting in work beyond two (2) hours will be paid according to the actual time worked by the employee calculated to the nearest 15-minutes at regular or overtime pay depending on the number of hours worked for the week. 9
