Overtime/Compensatory Time/Additional Hours. Employees must have prior authorization from their principal/supervisor to work overtime or additional hours outside of their normally scheduled hours. All work performed by an employee in excess of eight (8) hours per day or forty (40) hours per week shall be considered overtime. All overtime worked up to 120 hours maximum accrual may be treated as compensatory time. Employees shall take compensatory time, if available, for any leave requested during their work year. All overtime worked after the accumulated 120 compensatory time hours must be paid on the timecard as overtime on the next regular payday. Unused accumulated compensatory time shall be cashed in at the appropriate rate on or before June 30 of the fiscal year in which it was earned. When an employee has an opportunity to attend training or work extra hours on a voluntary basis on the sixth day of the scheduled workweek, they will be compensated at their normal rate of pay, with overtime being paid after forty (40) hours in the work week or eight (8) hours in the day. When the employee is required to work extra hours on a 6th day of the scheduled workweek, the minimum overtime worked and compensated for shall be four (4) hours.
