Unused compensatory time off earned during the accrual “year A” may be carried over until the end of accrual “year B”, but not thereafter. Unused Year A compensatory time off which has not been used by the end of Year B, through no fault of the employee, will be paid off in cash at the base hourly rate of pay then prevailing. Year A is defined as the first full pay period in July through the pay period which includes June 30th. Year B is the same period the following year. Employees in Overtime Category 17 or 18 who are unable to use their compensatory time balances, through no fault of their own, may request that Year A comp time be paid off in cash at the end of Year B. Such request may be granted in exceptional circumstances with the approvals of the Department or Agency head and the Commissioner of Personnel. (b) The following provisions shall apply in any case where an employee who is assigned to work overtime has requested to be credited with comp time rather than to be paid in cash.

Likewise, this contractual minimum is not intended to require any department which has a policy to allow a minimum comp time accrual in excess of this applicable rolling hour limit to discontinue such policy. Any department shall be free to adopt, continue, discontinue or modify any such policy above the minimum comp time accrual established hereunder without recourse to the grievance procedure. The failure of a manager or supervisor to permit comp time accrual above the established minimum herein shall not be subject to the grievance procedure. Compensatory time off granted for work on a floating holiday shall be permitted to exceed the applicable minimum accrual. However, subsequent requests for comp time that would exceed the minimum accrual are not required to be granted. Compensatory time earned for work on a floating holiday shall not be counted in the rolling 80 hour minimum comp time accrual applicable to the Agency of Transportation employees referenced above. (2) In any case where overtime work is paid for by funds other than State tax funds (i.e. not General Fund, Transportation Fund, etc.), the State may, but shall not be required to, grant comp time for those overtime hours under the preceding paragraph. In such situations, where funds may not be available by the end of Year B or at other times to pay off or grant the time off, then supervisors may grant comp time, but require that it be used before the fund/grant expires.

If requested by the employee, up to 48 hours balance shall be retained and not be paid off. Such a request being mademay be denied if the primary funding source is not State tax funds.
