§ 3170.46. Participation in additional wage and salary costs.
(a) Overtime. The Department will participate in the cost of overtime. The appropriate county executive officers for determining personnel policies will be responsible for approving overtime, determining whether employes shall receive pay or compensatory time off, and ensuring that adequate controls are maintained to prevent the excessive use of overtime.
(b) Standby time. The Department will participate in the cost of compensation for employes who are required to be available for emergencies. As a maximum the Department will participate in either 25% of the employe’s regular base pay for standby time or compensatory time off equivalent to 25% of standby time. If called to work, compensation will be computed at the employe’s regular hourly rate, or if appropriate at an overtime rate. Determination as to whether an employe shall be paid overtime or receive compensatory time off shall be made by the appropriate county executive officers. Standby time is not considered hours worked for the purpose of overtime computation.
(c) Call time. The Department will participate in the cost of compensation for employes who are called to work outside their regular work schedule, and who are not on standby. As a maximum, the Department will participate in the appropriate rate for the hours worked or 3 hours pay at the employe’s regular straight hourly rate, whichever is greater. Call time pay begins when the employe reports to the work site ready for work. Determination as to whether an employe shall be paid overtime or receive compensatory time off shall be made by the appropriate county executive officers.
