Employees called out on overtime shall be paid for meals as above, after four (4) hours work.

Compensatory Time for Overtime Eligible Employees A. Compensatory Time Eligibility
Compensation for Overtime Assigned overtime is designated as those hours over the regular hours of work which are requested of the employee by management. Assigned overtime worked shall be paid at the rate of time and one-half (1 1/2).
Payment for Overtime 1. Except as provided in 2.C.3., below, overtime shall be compensated at one and one-half (1 1/2) times the regular rate.
2. Except as provided in 2.C.3., below, for all regular, limited-term and probationary employees, overtime may be converted to compensatory time or paid for at the option of the agency/department. Consideration shall be given to effectuating the wishes of employees. The maximum number of CTO hours which may be accrued by any employee is eighty (80). If an employee accrues 80 hours of CTO, he/she cannot accrue additional CTO until he/she uses some of the hours in his/her bank; instead, employees will be paid for all overtime work performed in excess of that amount.
3. Overtime hours worked by extra help employees shall be paid.
4. Compensatory time earned and accrued by an employee in excess of thirty-two (32) hours may be scheduled off for an employee by his or her agency/department; however, consideration shall be given to effectuating the wishes of those employees requesting specific compensatory time off periods.
5. No scheduled compensatory time off will be cancelled except in cases of emergency.
6. In no case may an employee's work schedule be changed during the workweek when the purpose of such change is to avoid overtime compensation.
7. Time worked as overtime shall not be used to earn fringe benefits or to serve out probation or merit increase periods. Compensatory time off may be used as part of the established workweek to earn fringe benefits and to serve out probationary and merit increase periods.
8. An employee separating from the County service shall be paid for accumulated compensatory time in a lump sum payment.
Six Month Delay for Specified Employees If any payment, compensation or other benefit provided to the Executive in connection with his employment termination is determined, in whole or in part, to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and the Executive is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A, no part of such payments shall be paid before the day that is six months plus one day after the Executive’s date of termination or, if earlier, the Executive’s death (the “New Payment Date”). The aggregate of any payments that otherwise would have been paid to the Executive during the period between the date of termination and the New Payment Date shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum on such New Payment Date. Thereafter, any payments that remain outstanding as of the day immediately following the New Payment Date shall be paid without delay over the time period originally scheduled, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Overtime-Eligible Employees Employees who are covered by the overtime provisions of state and federal law.
Equalization of Overtime 1. Overtime work shall be on a voluntary basis (except as provided for in Section 1(i)), and shall be distributed as equally as possible to qualified employees working within the same department.
2. Overtime lists for the Department of Public Works and the Department of Technical and Planning Services shall be maintained, showing the number of overtime hours each employee has worked or been charged with, and will be posted at the end of each pay period by the City on Union bulletin boards, unless mutually agreed otherwise.
3. Division Overtime lists will be broken down into the following categories:
a. Division Employees
b. Non-Division Departmental Employees
c. Departmental Probationary New Hires
d. Non-Departmental Employees These categories will be utilized for call-in purposes when overtime exists, resulting in a fair and equitable distribution of overtime for both Departmental and Non Departmental employees.
4. The qualified employee with the least amount of overtime on each Division list will be given the first opportunity to the available overtime and so on up the list in an attempt to equalize the overtime hours. Those jobs, by their nature, requiring a continuity of personnel, or an uninterrupted flow of work from straight time to overtime shall be exempt from this provision.
5. Any employee refusing to work overtime will be charged with such refused overtime hours on the appropriate Division overtime list, regardless of the cause of refusal in concurrence with Article 21 K (2), which states details about charging overtime with a 10 minute call back period per the Tentative Agreement.
6. If the number of employees needed for overtime cannot be filled from the fully qualified and trained personnel within the specific Division, the City may offer overtime to other employees.
7. All overtime hours will be recorded on a continuing basis by each Department and will be reverted to zero (0) at the beginning of each fiscal year. Probationary new hires, employees transferring into a Division or Department, and Non Departmental Employees, will be charged with the highest number of overtime hours accrued by employees in the same Division or Department.

(b) A part-time employee working less than the normal days per week of a full-time employee, and who is required to work other than their regularly scheduled workdays, shall be paid at the rate of straight-time for the days so worked up to and including the normal workdays in the workweek of a full-time employee.
