Common use of Compensatory Time Non Exempt Clause in Contracts

Compensatory Time Non Exempt. Bargaining Unit Members may elect to accept compensatory time off in lieu of overtime pay. Compensatory time shall be credited at the rate of one and one-half (1½) hours off for each one (1) hour of overtime worked. Compensatory time may be accumulated up to a maximum of one hundred (100) hours at any given time. Once an employee accumulates one hundred (100) hours of compensatory time, any future overtime hours worked shall be compensated with overtime pay. An employee may elect to carry over, for one (1) year, any amount of his or her accumulated compensatory time not to exceed one hundred (100) hours. The Employer cannot require that an employee take compensatory time off rather than overtime pay or hours worked. However, the Employer may require that an employee utilize accumulated compensatory time within a specified time frame. Unused compensatory time will be paid out prior to promotions, step increases and/or April 1 of each year. To be considered, requests for compensatory time off must be submitted not less than forty-eight (48) hours in advance of the requested time off. Employees will be notified by 4:00 pm the next business day whether they are approved for compensatory time off. Compensatory time will be paid out at the rate at which it was earned.
