§ 19-8.7. Compensatory leave.
-
a.
In lieu of overtime compensation, an employee may be granted leave with pay as compensation for overtime work. The Township Manager shall determine whether overtime shall be compensated for by the granting of compensatory leave or by payment in cash. Compensatory leave, when granted, must be scheduled and used within 30 days from the time earned, unless otherwise approved by the Township Manager.
b.Compensatory leave shall be granted on the same basis as overtime compensation, namely for that time worked in excess of the regular 40 hours during one week, or in the case of special employees regularly scheduled on an eighty-hour, two-week period, compensatory time shall be granted for time worked in excess of the prescribed 80 hours within a two-week period.
c.When an employee works a prescribed workweek of less than 40 hours, compensatory leave shall be granted on an hour-to-hour basis up to 40 hours, at which time the regular overtime compensatory policy shall take effect unless prescribed otherwise by a collective bargaining agreement. (See subsection 19-6.2 for computation of overtime compensation.)
