Application of Overtime. 1. If, in the judgment of a Department Head, work beyond the official 40 hour work week is required, overtime work may be ordered. This overtime work will be compensated for as provided in this section. 2. Time worked as overtime shall not be counted as service time for purposes of employee benefits, eligibility or accrual or early completion of probationary period or for merit increases. Compensatory time off taken by an employee may be used as part of the established work week to earn employee benefits and to serve out probation and merit increase periods. 3. No permanent, probationary, or limited term employee may be employed in one or more positions, full or part-time, more than a total of 40 hours per week, excepting authorized overtime, unless authorized by the Board of Supervisors. Nothing in this section is to preclude an employee from temporarily serving in another capacity in the event of an emergency, provided s/he has the approval of the Department Head. 4. Except as otherwise provided in this section, an employee who works compensable overtime shall be paid or given compensatory time off, at the discretion of the Department Head, at a rate equal to one and one half (1½) times the hourly equivalent of such employee's monthly salary at the time the overtime was worked.
