Accrual and Use of Compensatory Time. Employees may accumulate up to a maximum of forty (40) hours of compensatory time. Employees must use compensatory time prior to using vacation leave. Exceptions may be requested and approved if mandatory use of compensatory time would result in the loss of vacation leave. Compensatory time must be used and scheduled in the same manner as vacation leave, as in ARTICLE 55 –
Accrual and Use of Compensatory Time. Compensatory time off shall be allowed to accrue to a maximum of sixty (60) overtime hours (forty [40] hours times 1.5) and must be taken by June 30 of the contract year in which the time is accrued. The Employer shall arrange, with the employee, a schedule to use all accrued compensatory time prior to June 30 of each year or pay the employee for any remaining unused compensatory time. When an employee requests use of accrued compensatory time, the Employer shall grant the request unless the time off would cause an undue disruption of the employer’s operation. Employees may use accrued comp time to extend holidays or vacation.
