(1) Comp Time. Nonexempt employees entitled to overtime pay may elect to receive compensatory time (comp time) off at a rate of one and one-half hours for each overtime hour worked, instead of cash payment. Maximum accruals of compensatory time shall be limited to 40 hours for full-time employees and 20 hours for permanent part-time employees. After maximum accrual, normal overtime compensation shall be paid for any additional overtime hours worked.

(2) Exempt employees are not covered by the FLSA overtime provisions and do not receive either overtime pay or compensatory time in lieu of overtime pay.

(3) Employees should schedule the use of compensatory time within a reasonable time period by making a written request to their supervisor. Compensatory time should be used for short-term absences from work during times mutually agreed to by the employee and his/her supervisor. Accumulation of compensatory time to be used as a substitute for extended vacation time off is not normally permitted.

(4) If an employee is unable to use accrued compensatory time within six months, the employee will be paid at their regular overtime wage for each overtime hour worked.

(5) Accrued compensatory time, if any, must be exhausted prior to taking paid vacation leave. (Ord. 666 § 2, 2022; Ord. 518 § 2, 2009)
