Resident Officers. All officers assigned to the Resident Section come under the provision of the Fair Labor Standards Act 29 U.S.C. 207(k), known as the 7K provision. Under this provision, Resident Officers must work in excess of 171 hours in a continuous 28-day period, before earning overtime. Payroll is responsible to track FLSA overtime hours accumulated during the 28-day cycle. Supervisors are responsible to ensure the Resident overtime slips are completed in a timely manner and forwarded through the chain of command to Payroll. To determine how overtime and call-back hours are computed, please refer to the following explanation. • Hours Worked: Only actual hours worked during the 28-day cycle count toward the 171 hours. A Resident officer on vacation, sick leave, or is absent from work for a non-work-related reason will not have that time count toward the 171 hours. • The fact that the resident Officer may be on a paid leave is irrelevant under FLSA 7(k). Since Resident Officers normally work 160 hours in a 28-day cycle, they must work an additional 11 hours before earning overtime compensation. The 20% resident pay covers the payment of the additional 11 hours that an Officer must work prior to becoming eligible for overtime. With limited exceptions (explained below), officers will not qualify for overtime compensation until the 11 additional hours worked is satisfied. Resident Officers are subject to call-out during all hours of their established workweek. While subject to call-out, the employee will remain within 30-minute response time proximity. Call-outs beyond the tour of duty are credited as actual hours worked within the 7(k) exemption (hours count towards the 171); e.g., a call-out of two (2) hours will only have two hours applied to the 7(k) hours. This exemption is only for call- outs during the workweek and is different than callback, as defined in the collective bargaining agreement during the employee’s regular day off. Resident Officers are subject to change of regular days off, hours of work, and on-call status without 12- hour notice. Resident Officers may have their tour of duty extended during their workweek with or without notice. These extended hours will count toward the 171 hours. The following payment classifications have been created to help determine how to count hours worked: • Overtime/Callback Accumulation (workweek): Applies when a Resident Officer has not met the 171-hour minimum. Payroll will post the Resident Officer’s FLSA overtime/cal...
Resident Officers. Base Pay Level: Each Resident Officer's Base Pay Level will be determined by the ordinary hours which the Officer is rostered to work during a full roster cycle. Minimum weekly pay: A Resident Officer will be paid the first hours rostered in each fortnight as ordinary hours and at the appropriate Base Pay Level, even where the Officer is rostered to work more or less than 76 ordinary hours during any one fortnight. In addition, each Officer will be paid each fortnight for all hours of overtime per fortnight that are included in his/her roster cycle. Payment for non-rostered overtime will be made in the pay for the pay period in which the overtime is worked.
Resident Officers. Rosters for Resident Officers will include an average of 38 ordinary hours per week (averaged over the full roster cycle) and may also include reasonable additional hours of up to 12 hours of rostered overtime in any one week. If rostered overtime is included then the shifts and/or parts thereof which constitute overtime shall be clearly identified as such on the roster
