In the event that overtime must be incurred, employees represented by the association will have two options: 1) be paid at one and one-half (1.5) times the employee's regular rate of pay, or 2) accumulate compensatory time off at the rate of one and one-half (1.5) times for each overtime hour worked up to a maximum of one hundred sixty (160) hours to be taken off at a later time as requested by the employee, and approved by the Supervisor. B. Once an employee has banked a maximum of 160 hours of compensatory time, any additional overtime will be paid to the employee. Banked CTO time may be sold back two (2) times each Fiscal Year up to a maximum of 80 hours on the next regular pay day, provided the request is made at least one (1) week prior to such payday. C. An employee who has accrued compensatory time off shall be permitted by his/her supervisor to use such compensatory time within a reasonable period of time after making the request if the use of compensatory time does not unduly disrupt the operations of the City. Compensatory time off must be used in increments of not less than one-quarter hour.
