§ 32-130. Overtime.

(a)

Department heads and supervisors shall assign to each employee regular work duties and responsibilities which can normally be accomplished within the established workday and workweek. When employees are required to work overtime, department heads shall authorize compensatory time off or overtime pay.

(b)

Determination to grant cash or compensatory time off shall rest with the department head, or acting department heads, who shall give due consideration to the desires of the employee, to budgetary controls and to the provisions of this section.

(c)

For some positions, overtime is considered part of the job responsibility, and, therefore, does not justify overtime pay. Cash compensation for overtime shall not be granted. In lieu of payment, time off is authorized with a maximum accumulation of eight hours.

(d)

The city treasurer or clerk/treasurer shall ask employees to submit pay period timesheets on a date near enough to the end of the pay period to allow for processing of paychecks by the day of the month as explained in this section. Overtime appearing on such timesheets shall be paid on the same pay day of recorded.

(e)

For general government employees, the hourly rate for overtime on a regular workday or a Saturday shall be 1½ times the regular hourly rate. The hourly rate for overtime on a holiday that falls on a scheduled workday, for holiday hours beyond eight hours on a regular workday, and for Sundays that are not scheduled workdays shall be two times the regular hourly rate. The hourly rate for holidays that are not scheduled workdays shall be 2½ times the regular hourly rate.
