Workweek Overtime and Premium Pay. Section 1. Workweek
A. The official workweek shall be as follows:
1. The official workweek for full-time employees shall be forty (40) hours and shall begin on each Friday and end with the following Thursday at 12:00 midnight except for employees working alternate schedules, such as a 9/80. For these employees the beginning and end of the workweek shall be the mid-point of their eight (8) hour day. However, if operational needs require an alternate schedule that does not meet the parameters described above, a different workweek may be designated. Work ordered and performed in excess of forty (40) hours actually worked in a workweek shall be overtime. Overtime shall be calculated on hours paid in excess of forty (40) in a workweek when work ordered by a Manager causes an employee to work beyond the end of the normal scheduled work shift for purposes of completion of a specific job, or where overtime is assigned in response to an emergency declared by the Board of Supervisors, activation of the County’s Emergency Operation Center (EOC) or a Department Operations Center (DOC).
2. Employees shall receive compensation on a biweekly basis. The pay period for employees in specified agencies, departments or divisions shall start on a Friday and end on the second (2nd) Thursday thereafter.
B. The regular hours of work each day shall be consecutive. Hours of work will be considered consecutive if divided only by normal meal breaks or rest periods.
C. The County agrees to give employees a fourteen (14) calendar day advance notice of a schedule change. Changes of three (3) days duration or fewer shall be permitted without the required advance notice if mutually agreed upon by both the County and the employee(s).
D. Employees assigned as “Relief Operators” may be assigned to another schedule when they are needed to cover an unscheduled absence. “Relief Operators” shall be given twenty-four (24) hours’ advance notice of a schedule change.
