Compensatory time will be accrued to a maximum of 100 hours after which time overtime will be paid and no additional compensatory time will be accrued. Compensatory time can be accumulated for up to one year and will be automatically cashed out at the beginning of each fiscal year (July 1). Compensatory time will be cashed out to the employee at the pay rate at which it was earned. An employee may request to have any compensatory accumulations cashed out at any time. Cashouts will be processed as part of a regular paycheck. Exempt employees are not entitled to compensatory time or overtime pay. Exceptions to this policy must be approved in advance, in writing by the City Manager. (D) Overtime: With the exception of exempt employees and non-exempt police officers, all employees who work overtime will be paid at the rate of one and one-half times the hourly rate of pay. Overtime is that time worked in excess of forty (40) hours in a work week and does not include time such as vacation leave, sick leave, holidays, etc. Non-exempt police officers shall receive straight hourly pay for work exceeding eighty (80) hours in a pay period, until they exceed eighty-six (86) hours. When non-exempt police officers exceed 86 hours in a pay period they will receive pay at one and one-half times their hourly rate, for such excess. Pursuant to section 7 (k) of the Fair Labor Standards Act, the City establishes a fourteen (14) day pay period for all employees, including public safety employees. This section allows the City to exempt police officers from overtime pay, at time and one-half, until the employee exceeds 86 hours in a pay period.

The department head may also establish a minimum period of overtime for calls to work, such as court appearances, where the work is canceled upon or after arrival of the employee. (G) Eligibility: In general, all non-exempt employees are eligible for overtime. Employees who are identified as exempt status employees are not eligible for overtime or compensatory time. Exempt employees are identified as the following: City Manager, Recorder, Treasurer, Chief of Police, and Public Works Director.

The On -Call Duty schedule will be set by the division superintendent and will be set as far in advance as reasonably possible. All trades and exchanges of On -Call Duty among employees must be approved in advance by the division superintendent. (C) The City will compensate the On -Call Duty employee with a weekly stipend for assuming On -Call Duty. The stipend will be calculated by paying one hour at the rate of a Grade 7 Step Min wage multiplied by 4. if the On -Call Duty week includes a holiday, the same formula will apply with the exception that the rate will be a Grade 7 Step Min wage multiplied by 5. (D) In the event that an employee is called to respond to an incident while performing On -Call Duty, a minimum of I hour additional On -Call Duty will be compensated at the overtime rate multiplier of 1.5 of the employee's regular rate of pay.

(D) The City may decline to defend should it appear that the suit does not allege conduct falling within the course and scope of employment.

If it is later determined that the act or omission did not occur as part of the employee's official duties the City will not be obligated to pay any judgment or settlement that results from the law suit. In that case the employee will be responsible for payment. (E) Employees are advised that under state law, suits derived from an employee driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or suits in which the employee engages in intentional misconduct, fraud, or malicious acts are not subject to defense or indemnity by the City.

However, the employee is not entitled to reimbursement of any attorney fees and costs where the case is dismissed by motion of the prosecuting attomey. (B) If an employee is acquitted of some of the charges but convicted on others, the employee shall be entitled to reimbursement for that portion of his reasonable defense costs necessarily incurred which are attributed to the defense of the counts that were dismissed or for which the employee was acquitted, except that if the underlying conduct is substantially the same for both the counts resulting in conviction and the counts that are dismissed there is no right of reimbursement at all. (C) It is the policy of the City to reimburse employees for defense costs only to the extent required by law. Employees are advised that unreasonable, unnecessary, or excessive legal expenses will not be reimbursed. In evaluating a claim for reimbursement the City will carefully scrutinize legal bills based upon the seriousness of the charge, the time necessary to prepare for trial, whether or not the case went to trial, the extent of pre-trial motions and hearings, the reasonableness of the attomey's hourly rate, and related factors. In no instance will the City reimburse for attorney fees in excess of $150.00 per hour, unless the rate is approved by action of the City Council in advance. If the City declines to reimburse, or should it reimburse only in part, the employee will be solely responsible for payment of any remainder.
