overtime work receive the payor compensatory time provided by City policy.

6.10 Supervisors shall promptly investigate any discrepancies in time or pay records that an employee reports.

6.11 No compensation is due for offset time. Employees must take offset time as directed by a supervisor based on operational needs.

6.12 Employees should not have more than 70 hours of compensatory time accrued at any given time. Employees should use their compensatory time to keep the amount accrued below 70 hours. Supervisors should encourage employees to take compensatory time to keep the banked hours below 70. Supervisors may require an employee to take specific days or specific hours of compensatory time off.

6.13 The City Manager may change the compensatory time cap as the Manager, in his or her sole discretion, deems appropriate.

6.14 Supervisors shall require that an employee use accrued (banked) compensatory time before vacation unless the employee has reached 48 days of accumulated vacation. At that point the employee could elect to use vacation over compensatory time. 6.15 Non-exempt employees may elect to use accrued (banked) compensatory time before using sick leave in order to preserve sick leave accruals. Exempt employees may use compensatory time before using sick leave with a supervisor's permission. Supervisors may not require that an employee use compensatory time instead of sick leave or FMLA leave. 6.16 Non-exempt employees must be permitted to schedule their own compensatory time off so long as it is not unduly disruptive to normal operations. A request is unduly disruptive only when allowing the time off would impose an unreasonable burden on the Department's ability to provide services of acceptable quality or quantity for the public during the time requested without the use of the employee's services. The fact that overtime may be required of one non-exempt employee to permit anot~er non-exempt employee to use time off is not a sufficient reason to deny a request. 6.17 If a non-exempt employee terminates with unpaid, accrued compensatory time, the balance will be paid. No payments shall be made upon separation for unpaid, accrued compensatory time earned by an exempt employee above pay grade 35, above the rank of Police Sergeant, or at or above Battalion Fire Chief. Exempt employees at or below pay grade 35, at or below the rank of Police Sergeant, or below the rank of Battalion Fire Chief, who terminate with unpaid, accrued compensatory time will be paid for their balances unless their employment with the City ends while disciplinary action against the employee is proposed, pending,
