Continuing Overtime. All overtime shall be paid for at the rate of time and one-half (1.5x), for the first two (2) hours and double time (2x) for all hours, or portions thereof, in excess of the said two (2) hours, provided that no payment for overtime shall be granted for overtime periods of fifteen (15) minutes, or less.
