Work Week Policy

The workweek is scheduled from Sunday through Saturday. Regular workdays may vary among staff members.

The full-time workweek consists of 40 hours per week. Hours worked in excess of 40 hours in a workweek shall be considered overtime and compensated at one and one-half the regular rate of pay. This overtime may also be redeemed at a rate of one and one-half hours of compensatory time for each hour of overtime worked. The Library Director, however, may substitute cash, in whole or in part, for compensatory time. Payments for accrued compensatory time will normally be made during the pay period following, and must be paid at one and one-half times the regular rate earned by the employee at the time the employee receives payment.

All overtime must be authorized by the Library Director ahead of time. Overtime is discouraged. It is up to the Administrative Assistant to keep track of all overtime worked. An employee may accrue up to 240 hours of compensatory time (160 hours of actual overtime work), although the Library District can choose to require that the employee use the compensatory time within specific pay period(s).

Upon termination of employment, the Library Director may choose whether an employee will be paid for unused compensatory time or whether that time will be extended as paid vacation.
