Common use of Compensation for Overtime Worked Clause in Contracts

Compensation for Overtime Worked. Payment for authorized overtime worked shall be either in cash or compensatory time off at the employee's option. Overtime work shall be compensated at the rate of time-and- one-half (1½) the regular rate of pay. An employee may choose accrued compensatory time off in lieu of cash payment for overtime worked if the employee’s supervisor agrees prior to the overtime work being performed. At any time, employees may accumulate a maximum of one hundred twenty (120) hours of compensatory time off, maintained on a continuous per pay period basis. Thereafter, the City will compensate employees with overtime pay only for all hours of overtime worked beyond the one hundred twenty (120)-hour limit. Compensatory time may be used at a time mutually agreeable to the employee and the Department Director. Compensatory time off shall not be taken when the employee must be replaced by another employee in an overtime status unless this provision is waived by the Department Director. Accrued compensatory time up to the maximum of one hundred twenty (120) hours provided above shall be used when requested by the employee and approved by the Department Director. Accrued compensatory time in excess of the maximum of one hundred twenty (120) hours provided above shall be used when requested by the employee and approved by the Department Director, or when scheduled by the Department Director, provided twenty-four (24) hours advance notice is given to the employee concerned.
