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 timeAFTER working the required work time for a period of 28 straight dayswithout 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.
