FLSA TIME QUESTION


Hey Guys...i've recently noticed that i have started accumulating FLSA time (the time account you can cash out when you retire)...I've been a sgt  for 4 years and havent accumulated FLSA time since i was a cop.  I know there's a formula to accumulating FLSA time..something like not taking anytime off for about a month and then if you put in OT for time, it goes in your FLSA account.  Im guessing SGT's are accumulating FLSA time now due to winning the lawsuit...but my question is can LT's accumulate FLSA time?

Thanks B...im gonna look in the Admin Guide when i have a chance..feel free to post it up if you get the info before me.  If im not mistaken..the formula is any overtime taken in time AFTER working the required work time for a period of 28 straight days without burning any time (lost time, vac, chart day, etc)>>>gives you FLSA time on your check.  will try and confirm.

To set forth the guidelines for compliance with the provisions of the Fair Labor
Standards Act (FLSA).
COVERED EMPLOYEES - For the purpose of this procedure, those members of
the service (uniformed and civilian) who have been categorized by the City as
covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
To record compensatory time earned by covered employees:
    1. Have three (3) different compensatory time banks established for all
employees as follows:
             a. CIVILIAN MEMBERS OF THE SERVICE
                  (1) All pre-Fair Labor Standards Act compensatory time
                  earned prior to April 15, 1986.
                  (2) Post-April 14, 1986, non-Fair Labor Standards Act
                  compensatory time earned under forty (40) hours of time
                  actually worked per week.
                  (3) Post-April 14, 1986, Fair Labor Standards Act
                  compensatory time earned after forty (40) hours of time
                  actually worked per week.
              b. UNIFORMED MEMBERS OF THE SERVICE
                 (1) All pre-Fair Labor Standards Act compensatory time
                 earned prior to April 15, 1986.
                 (2) Post-April 14, 1986, non-Fair Labor Standards Act
                 compensatory time earned under one hundred and seventyone
                 (171) hours of time actually worked in a twenty eight
                 (28) day cycle.
                 (3) Post-April 14, 1986 Fair Labor Standards Act
                 compensatory time earned after one hundred and
                 seventy-one (171) hours of time actually worked in a
                 twenty eight (28) day period.
   2. Accrue, if a covered employee, up to 240 hours (one hundred and sixty
       [160] hours of overtime at time and one-half equals the two hundred and
        forty [240] hours "cap").
   3. Accrue up to four hundred and eighty (480) hours (three hundred and
        twenty [320] hours at time and one-half equals the four hundred and
        eighty [480] hours "cap").

The "cap," as stated in steps 2 and 3 above, is a "rolling cap which began April 15,
1986 and is maintained during the term of an individual employee's employment. Once a
covered civilian or uniformed member of the service has reached the "rolling cap," cash
overtime must be paid.
It is incumbent upon all supervisors and managers to ensure enforcement of overtime
authorization requirements.
A member of the service (uniformed or civilian) who has accrued Fair Labor Standards
Act compensatory time, upon termination or separation of employment, must be paid for
the unused Fair Labor Standards Act compensatory time at the rate of compensation not
less than:
a The average regular rate received by such member during the last three (3)
years of the member's employment, or
b. The final regular rate received by such member, whichever is greater.
Commanding officers/supervisory heads shall be aware of the following general
considerations:
a. Working time of covered employees must be carefully scheduled and monitored
to avoid unpaid overtime claims
b. Employees will not be permitted to work during their meal periods without
written authorization
c. A strict system of record keeping of employees' time worked and taken is
absolutely mandatory
d. Current terms and conditions of collective bargaining agreements will remain in
full force and effect as long as they do not differ from the Fair Labor Standards
Act.
Employees must be compensated for "working time." The work week for all employees,
except uniformed members of the service, is defined as the seven (7) calendar days
beginning at 0001 hours Sunday and ending 2400 hours the following Saturday (one
hundred and sixty-eight [168] hours). Overtime compensation at time and one-half for
all hours actually worked in excess of forty (40) hours in an established seven (7) day
work week is generally required for all non-exempt employees. Uniformed members will
receive Fair Labor Standards Act overtime after actually working in excess of one
hundred and seventy-one (171) hours within a twenty eight (28) day period. Supervisors
and managers concerned must ensure that each covered employee records the
employee's starting time at the beginning of the scheduled workday and at their
scheduled finishing time.
