ARTICLE 27
COMPENSATORY TIME (TIME COMING)
Compensatory time is allowed for non-exempt full-time employees only under the following
conditions:
A.
Compensatory time is computed at an hour and a half (1 % hours) for every hour
of straight time worked over 40 hours in a week. Employees will make out a
Department Overtime Form and mark their intention to have the time converted to
time coming. Said form shall be submitted to the appropriate Bureau Commander
for approval. Each Bureau will hold the slips and make the necessary additions
and subtractions as necessary to maintain a current total to the maximum amount
as specified below.
Employees may convert overtime worked, but no less than one hour of overtime
at a time, into a maximum amount of 24 time coming hours. Any overtime slips
submitted for accrual purposes which bring the accrued amount beyond the 24
hours will be submitted for overtime payment.
Said time must be used within 6 months of the original overtime date. All
overtime slips beyond 6 months will be submitted for overtime payment. Note:
if a slip becomes outdated, but the employee has taken partial time coming hours,
the time taken will be deducted and the remaining time will be converted back to
normal overtime for payment.
Time coming may be used to extend a block vacation week or be added to any
other time off; i.e., personal day. The decision of the supervisor shall be final and
not subject to the grievance procedures, A maximum of eight (8) hours of time
coming shall be used to extend a block vacation week or be added to other time
off.
When employees utilize compensatory time:
« The employee will complete the appropriate Department form when utilizing
any compensatory time (time coming). The same procedures will be followed
as vacations, etc.
* The time will be deducted from the employee's time coming accrual and from
the actual overtime forms. Once an overtime slip's conversion to time coming
has been used completely, the slip will be marked as so and may be kept for
record purposes.
If an employee leaves employment for any reason, any accrued time will be
converted back to overtime hours and will be submitted for payment.
