Purpose, Section 130.330, The Pay Plan, Section 130.340, Standards
for Determination of Pay Grades and Ranges, and Section 130.350, Amendment

[CC 1996 §130.360; Ord. No. 1030 §1, 12-8-1997]
A.
Any
salary rate established for an employee shall be the total remuneration
for the employee, not including reimbursement for official travel
or other authorized allowances, such as uniform allowances, compensation
for authorized overtime or holiday pay as authorized by the City for
those to which it applies.
B.
In
any case in which compensation for services of any City employee is
paid by any outside governmental agency or from private sources for
services performed as a representative of the City, such payments
shall be remitted directly to the City within twenty-four (24) hours
of receipt.
[CC 1996 §130.370; Ord. No. 1030 §1, 12-8-1997]
No employee holding a position in the City shall be eligible
for employment in any additional full-time position in the City. A
full-time employee may be hired as a part-time, temporary or seasonal
employee by the City. However, the City should take into account with
such an appointment the impact of the Fair Labor Standards Act which
requires all work beyond forty (40) hours in a week to be paid at
the employee's full-time, overtime rate.

Editor’s Note: Former Section 130.380, Application of
the Pay Plan, Section 130.390, Advancement in the Pay Plan, and Section
130.400, Pay Rate Adjustments, were repealed 7-17-2017 by Ord. No.
1843.
[CC 1996 §130.410; Ord. No. 1030 §1, 12-8-1997]
If an employee is temporarily assigned to a higher position
class with a corresponding higher salary rate, that employee will
continue to receive the salary corresponding to his/her regular position.
However, the City Administrator may approve a higher temporary salary
based solely on his/her discretion.
[CC 1996 §130.420; Ord. No. 1030 §1, 12-8-1997; Ord. No. 1202 §I, 2-26-2001]
A.
The
standard workweek for employees of the City other than elected officials,
members of the personal staff of an elected official, appointees of
an elected official serving on a policy-making level, professional
employees, executive employees, administrative employees and seasonal
employees as defined by the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.D.C.
Section 213 and except for public safety employees shall be a seven
(7) day period beginning at 12:01 A.M. on Saturdays and ending at
12:00 A.M. on the following Saturday. Such employees shall work such
days as their supervisors shall direct, but in the event they work
in excess of forty (40) hours in a particular work period, then their
supervisor shall, when possible, give such employee compensatory time
off during the same workweek period only. If such compensatory time
is not given to such employee, then such employee shall be compensated
for all hours worked in excess of forty (40) hours during the said
workweek period at a rate equal to one and one-half (1½) times
his/her regular pay scale basis. An employee may accumulate a maximum
of fifty (50) hours of compensatory time. Any compensatory time in
excess of fifty (50) hours of accumulated time shall be paid immediately
as overtime instead of accumulated as compensatory time. All accumulated
compensatory time will be paid at the end of each fiscal year and
will not be carried over to the next fiscal year.
[Ord. No. 1909, 9-21-2020]
B.
Supervisors
shall make every effort to assign employees regular work duties and
responsibilities which can normally be accomplished within the established
workday and workweek period without overtime hours. It is recognized,
however, that occasionally some overtime work may be necessary for
proper performance of work duties and responsibilities. In the event
that such overtime hours are being regularly incurred by a given department,
that supervisor shall report the need for additional personnel to
the City Administrator for action by the Board of Aldermen.
C.
Elected
officials, members of the personal staff of an elected official, appointees
of an elected official serving on a policy-making level, professional
employees, executive and administrative employees and seasonal employees,
as defined by the Fair Labor Standards Act, shall not be entitled
to overtime pay nor compensatory time off.
D.
Public
safety employees, as defined by the Fair Labor Standards Act, which
shall include members of the Police Department who have the power
to arrest, but shall not include dispatchers or other administrative
support personnel, shall have a standard work period of fourteen (14)
consecutive days with tours of duty which do not exceed the lesser
of eighty-six (86) hours or the average number of hours of tours of
duty for law enforcement personnel as calculated by the United States
Department of Labor. The beginning date of each officer's work period
shall be established and noted in his/her personnel record. If a public
safety employee is required to work more than the prescribed hours
during a given work period, he/she shall be given compensatory time
off during a given work period. If not possible, he/she shall be compensated
for all overtime hours remaining after said compensatory time is taken
at the rate of one and one-half (1½) his/her regular pay scale
basis.
E.
No
overtime shall be payable to any employee of the City until such employee
shall have worked the total number of hours in the work period as
herein specified. Time off for vacation, holidays, sick leaves or
other authorized leave does not count as time worked during a work
period.
F.
Nothing
in this Section to the contrary, no supervisor shall himself/herself
permit any employee to work in excess of forty (40) hours in a particular
work period without prior written approval of such overtime by the
City Administrator. If the City Administrator is not available, such
prior written approval must be obtained from the Mayor or, if he/she
shall also not be available, from the President of the Board of Aldermen.
No overtime shall be worked by any supervisor or employee without
such prior written approval, except on an emergency job requirement.
In an emergency job requirement, the supervisor may authorize such
overtime, but shall, within twenty-four (24) hours of such authorization,
notify the City Administrator in writing and with a full and complete
justification of such emergency work.
G.
As provided under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), employees
engaged in police and fire protection work may accrue up to four hundred
eighty (480) hours of compensatory time. No other employee or supervisor
shall accumulate more than fifty (50) compensatory hours. Every effort
shall be made the limit the hours of compensatory time for each employee.
