Section 14.27.02.13 - Compensatory Leave

A. An executive, administrative, or professional employee, whose classification is not on the list of employees approved by the Board as eligible to receive cash overtime payments, may earn compensatory time for work performed:

(1) At least 1 hour beyond the employee's standard work day; and

(2) For more than 1 hour in a day that is outside the employee's standard workweek, for example, on a holiday or a weekend.

B. Total compensatory time earned for the day is equal to the first hour plus any time worked after the first hour.

C. An employee may not carry into a new fiscal year more than 120 hours of unused compensatory time. If, on June 30, an employee has more than 120 hours of unused accumulated compensatory time, then, on July 1, the Service shall reduce the employee's accumulated unused compensatory leave balance to 120 hours.

D. A part-time employee may not carry into a new fiscal year more than the number of unused compensatory leave hours which equals the funded percentage of the employee's position multiplied by 120 hours. For example, if a part-time employee works a 60 percent schedule, then the employee may not carry into the new fiscal year more than 72 unused compensatory leave hours (0.60 x 120). If, on June 30 of a year, a part-time employee has more than the permitted carryover amount of accumulated compensatory leave, then, on July 1, the Service shall reduce the employee's accumulated unused compensatory leave to the permitted carryover amount.

E. An employee's supervisor shall approve compensatory time earned by the employee. Use of compensatory leave is subject to supervisory approval.
