Employees Exempt from Overtime. Full-time exempt employees who work a significant number of hours on evenings, weekends and/or holidays may be permitted, in accordance with the needs of the Organization’s work and with the approval of their supervisor, to take compensatory time they have accrued under this Section. Compensatory time is intended to provide the employee time to refresh after a heavy work period. As such, compensatory time is to be taken as close to the additional worked hours as the work schedule permits and may be accrued for up to two (2) months unless other arrangements are made with the employee’s supervisor. An employee will notify their supervisor at least five (5) days in advance of taking their compensatory time and must receive their supervisor’s prior approval. An employee will not be paid out for any accrued, unused compensatory time upon their separation from the Organization. An employee may not accrue more than forty (40) hours of compensatory time at any given time. Employees working so many hours that they receive compensatory time on a regular basis are encouraged to meet with their manager according to the process outlined in Article 16 (Workload Assessment). Compensatory time for full-time exempt employees shall be calculated as follows: An employee will receive one (1) hour of compensatory time for every hour of time worked beyond fifty (50) hours in a week. An employee shall track their hours worked via the means prescribed by the Human Resources Department. Sick time, holidays, and other paid leave are not counted as work hours in the calculation of fifty (50) hours necessary to qualify for compensatory time.
