time, at the discretion of the emp loy ce, for all the hours worked on call-back. The emp loy ee shall
be guaranteed a minimum of two (2) hours for being called back to the library. This provision does
not apply to split shifts.
Any employee required to perform work responsibilities when the library is closed or outside of
the employee’s normal work schedule, and the required work can be performed without the
employee physically reporting to the library , that employee shall be compensated at a minimum
of one (1) hour at the employ ce’s overtime rate of pay.
Article 10
Overtime
Overtime must be approved by the Library Director or designee before overtime work is performed.
Any hours worked over 40 in one work week will be paid at time and one-half in money or time and
one-half in compensatory time, at the discretion of the employee. Part-time employ ces will be paid
straight time up to 40 hours and time and one-half for any additional hours in either money or
compensatory time at the discretion of the employ ee.
Compensatory time for hourly employees will be subject to the requirements of State and Federal
law, however, where the Collective Bargaining Agreement provides for a greater benefit the
Agreement shall control. Beginning July 1, 2021, employees may accrue no more than 240 hours of
compensatory time (for 160 hours of time worked). Use of compensatory time for salaried and
hourly employees will be granted upon the employce’s request, subject to the approval of the
Library Director or designee. No such request will be unreasonably denied. Upon separation from
service unused compensatory time will be paid to the employee. In the event of the death of an
emp loy ee, his/her unused compensatory time will be paid to the spouse or estate of the emp loy ee.
Article 11
Seniority
Seniority is defined as length of service within the bargaining unit. Seniority shall be determined on
a pro rata basis.
For example,
40 hour work week lyear= 1 year
30 hour work week 1 year = 9 months
25 hour work week 1 year = 7.5 months
Service ceased due to resignation, retirement or termination shall cause all accrued seniority to be
lost. Employees who are laid off and subsequently rehired under the recall provision shall upon
his/her return, be entitled to all previously accrued seniority .
