ARTICLE 9 - OVERTIME
A. Time and one half the employee’s regular hourly pay shall be paid for work
assigned and performed in excess of eight (8) hours in a workday, or in excess of forty (40)
hours in a workweek.
B. Paid sick leave, paid holidays, personal days, military active duty for training,
jury duty, bereavement leave, or other excusable reasons of similar urgency as determined by the
Superintendent with the approval of the City, shall be considered as time worked for the purpose
of computing overtime pay.
Cc. When Park Department employees go on permanent night shift assignment, all
overtime for these employees in the Park Department will be based on the premium rate of pay
(base pay plus shift differential) for all overtime work performed.
D. Any person who left his/her place of employment and is recalled to work prior to
the next regular shift will be paid for a minimum of three (3) hours at the rate of time and one
half; provided, further, that an employee who is called back for overtime or emergency work and
completes the required task and returns to his/her residence within the three (3) hour minimum
guarantee may be called back for overtime or additional emergency work without an additional
three (3) hour minimum work guarantee. In order to receive the (3) hour minimum, the
employee must report for work within (60) sixty minutes from the time called; otherwise the
employee shall only be paid for actual time worked.
It is the purpose and intent of this section to assure an employee of at least three (3) hours
of pay at overtime rate for the inconvenience of being called back to work between normal shifts,
but not to be separately paid for several call-backs within the three (3) hour minimum guarantee
period.
E. Any employee who is called back for one (1) hour or less prior to the start of
his/her normal shift shall receive such time at the overtime rate, but is excluded from the three
(3) hour minimum guarantee outlined in paragraph D, above.
F. The workday or the workweek will not be interrupted to avoid the payment of
overtime.
G. For the purpose of distribution of overtime on a rotating basis as discussed in
paragraphs H through K below, all classifications and work locations which have overtime as
part of the regular schedule shall not have such overtime considered as overtime opportunities.
H. Overtime work which is scheduled in advance or which requires employees to be
called in for unscheduled work shall be offered first on a rotating basis among all qualified
employees by classification in the department of the division which normally performs the work,
