Leave Policy and Payroll Procedures

Overtime Pay & Compensatory Leave

I. POLICY

The Field Enforcement Bureau will pay overtime or provide compensatory leave to employees who work more than their normally scheduled workday or week, according to applicable federal and state laws. The following are procedures that have been implemented:

II. PROCEDURES

  1. Overtime/compensatory time may not be granted unless a supervisory employee approves either type in advance. The requesting employee, prior to extending the scheduled workday, should receive practical verbal approval from a supervisor.
  2. Overtime will be controlled through careful advanced planning of the activities of members of the Bureau. All efforts should be made, to provide relief if assignments will exceed a normal work shift, when possible.
  3. Nothing in the policy should be interpreted as intent to curtail necessary investigations or enforcement activity.
  4. Employees must complete the comments field of the biweekly time submission of Workday to include the nature of the assignment, applicable Field Enforcement Bureau case number, and the approving supervisor.

III. CANCELLATION

None.
