TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF JANUARY 21, 2010
COMMITTEE ON PENSION, HUMAN RESOURCES AND CIVIL SERVICE
Mr. Richard Lanyon, Executive Director
Title
Change Personnel Rule 5.10 Overtime Administration (Deferred from January 7, 2010 Board Meeting)
Body
Dear Sir:
Personnel Rule 5 contains the specific rules and procedures for salary administration for non-represented employees in the classified service of the District. It is recommended that Personnel Rule 5.10 Overtime Administration be changed in the following manner:
“5.10 Overtime Administration: A department head may prescribe reasonable periods of overtime work to meet operational needs. Such overtime shall be reported separately on the time records and the payrolls of the department.
“Any employee compensated under the GS Salary Schedule or PM employee at PM12, or TAM Salary Schedule at Grade 18, and below, who is obliged to work overtime shall be compensated in time off or paid in cash. Such employees shall be allowed two (2) one and one-half hours off for each hour of authorized overtime worked. If compensated in cash, such overtime will be paid at the rate of one and one-half hours for each hour of authorized overtime worked.
“Employees at PM13 or TAM 19 and above shall not be eligible for overtime compensation. However, the Department Head may authorize time off for such employees in special cases. In no case shall employees at grade PM13 or TAM 19 and above be paid in cash for overtime.”
The District provides competitive pay rates to employees, and should also provide competitive compensatory time allowances for non-represented employees. The prevailing practice is to provide 1.5 hours compensatory time for each hour worked.
Approval of the Board of Commissioners to make this change is requested.
Requested, Patrick J. Foley, Director of Human Resources, PJF:DEK
Respectfully Submitted, Gloria Alitto Majewski, Chairman Committee on Pension, Human Resources and Civil Service
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for January 21, 2010
