In no case will compensatory time be allowed, in lieu of overtime once the employee has reached the compensatory time limit in 18.10. Upon separation from employment, employees will be paid for any unused compensatory time.
Accrual of Sick Leave a.

Compensatory Time Use An employee must use compensatory time prior to using vacation leave, unless this would result in the loss of their vacation leave or the employee is using vacation leave for domestic violence leave.

Employees may use compensatory time for leave as required by the Domestic Violence Leave Act, RCW 49.76. The Employer may schedule an employee to use their compensatory time with seven (7) calendar days’ notice.
