In the event an employee is required to work additional hours between the end of their regularly scheduled shift and the beginning of their next regularly scheduled shift and the break is less than ten (10) hours, the County shall: 1. allow the employee to flex the beginning time of their regularly scheduled shift to allow for a ten (10) hour break, County needs permitting; or 2. compensate the employee at their regular scheduled rate of pay for the difference between ten (10) hours and the actual hours they are off between the end of work and the start of their shift. For example, if an employee’s regular shift normally ends at ten (10:00) p.m., works until midnight (12:00 a.m.) and then is scheduled to begin work at eight (8:00) a.m., the break is only eight (8) hours, they would be compensated for an additional two (2) hours.
