Normal Work Hours.
The normal working days in the work week shall be Monday through Friday, except the normal working days in the work week for office personnel are Tuesday through Friday and Saturday until noon. It is necessary, owing to the variations in the different services provided by the Town, that there be variations in the hours and days of work per week within different departments. The hours of work, the starting and quitting time, and lunch periods will be established within each department with the Town Manager’s approval. The hours of work, the starting and quitting time, or the lunch periods may be changed by mutual agreement of the department head and the Town Manager, or at the Town Manager’s request.
It is understood, however, that salaried employees exempt from overtime shall accomplish the work assigned to the position regardless of the hours required to do the work. This policy will be applied within reason. Those employees not eligible for overtime under this section shall be determined administratively with a master list maintained in the Town Manger’s office. It is the responsibility of each department head to insure that the department’s work hours are adhered to by all employees.
Overtime.
It is the obligation of all qualified employees to accept a reasonable amount of overtime work as shall, from time to time, be required to allow for coverage of illness, vacation schedules, and continuance of Town business. Any time actually worked in excess of forty (40) hours in one week shall be compensated for by overtime pay or compensatory time off at a time and one-half rate. Sick leave, holidays, vacation time and other forms of paid leave shall not be counted as time worked. This does not apply to “on call” or part-time employees. Town employees are not authorized to work more than 16 hours during any 24 hour period.
Any time worked on a holiday, regardless of what occurs during the rest of the regular work week, shall be compensated for by overtime pay at a time and one-half rate, in addition to the employee’s regular, straight holiday pay.
When an hourly paid Public Works employee has left work after the regular work day and then is called into work, he/she shall be paid a minimum of two hours of pay. If and when time worked for each particular call-in exceeds two hours, he/she shall be paid for the actual hours worked.
The Town will make every responsible effort to distribute overtime equally among employees and their respective departments.
Normal Salaried Work Week for Exempt Positions.
The normal work week for exempt salaried positions will vary with the assigned workload within a range of 38 to 42 hours per week. Hours worked by salaried employees will be managed and recorded by the Town Manager.
