[Amended 4-8-1968 by Ord. No. 23-1968]

A. Additional compensation over that provided by the Salary Ordinance of the City for overtime, when authorized by the department head, shall be paid to any employee in accordance with the following schedule, provided that no additional compensation shall be paid any City official, nor shall any additional compensation be paid any other City employee whose salary for the year, plus accumulated earnings for overtime as of the time of payment, shall be $10,000 or more:

(1) For each hour in excess of the regular workday, 1 1/2 times the hourly rate.

(2) For work on Sundays (including holidays falling on Sunday), except for employees regularly scheduled to so work, two times the regular hourly rate; or for other holidays, 1 1/2 times the regular hourly rate during regular working hours and two times the regular hourly rate for holiday employment outside regular working hours.

B. Such overtime compensation shall be in addition to the regular compensation to which the employee would be entitled.

C. For the purposes of this section, employees for whom there is no prescribed hourly rate shall have an hourly rate computable by dividing the product of their annual salary by the number of hours in their normal workweek times 52 weeks.

§ 60-42 Unusual work demands from special projects or emergencies.

Without regard to the limitations of § 60-41, the Mayor may authorize, to the extent allowed by law, additional compensation for any employee or official where justified because of unusual work demands arising out of special projects not part of the normal duties attendant to the position or office or out of emergency conditions.

§ 60-43 Compensatory time in lieu of monetary payments.

In lieu of monetary payments otherwise payable, a department head may, in his discretion, authorize compensatory time (computed by dividing the monetary payment otherwise due by the regular hourly rate) with pay where an employee has worked overtime within a calendar month computed as provided in this chapter. Such compensatory time shall be taken within 30 days of the period during which it was earned and should not be added to vacation periods.

§ 60-44 Minimum time for which overtime is paid.

No payments shall be made for overtime of less than 30 minutes of any one day, but compensatory time as provided under § 60-43 may be provided therefor.

§ 60-45 Time for reporting work and receiving payment.

All compensatory time shall be taken and all overtime payments shall be reported, approved and paid within 30 days from the date earned instead of being permitted to accumulate.

§ 60-46 Monthly reports to Mayor.

Each department shall submit monthly reports to the Mayor indicating the overtime worked by each employee, the amount of compensatory payments, the extent of compensatory time authorized and such other and further information as the Mayor may request.
