SOWNTt Compensatory (comp) Time j
The City Code (VA 23.25.060) sets out the rules for cosy time.
Overtime or comp time arises when an employee is in a paid status for,
hours in excess of his normal work week. The Code is silent regarding
the rate a! coop time. However, effective April 15, 1986s the lair
Labor Standards Act (FL9A) requires that camp time given in lieu of .V•` -,.'
overtime be at time and one half. The following is effective April 15s
1986:

for t ess employees, comp t me must be given at time and one-hel! i! it
is in lieu of overtime. As long as an employee's paid status is � t_
limited to his normal work week, he is not in an *vertigo otatus and,
therefore, not iu a comp time states. For instance, if a shop employee
works an extra 2 hours (a total of 10) on Thursday, and works 6 hours '' :_UM
Oil Friday, he is not over 40 hours for the week and he receives no
overtime. In this case, the 2 hours he took off on Friday were not
camp ties. His t3ormal shift was simply altered so that he put in his _
40 hours in a different way than usual.44
However, wing this same example, if the employee works his normal 8
hours on Friday, he now has worked 42 hours in the week. It the _.__ _ _ ___ ___-4 __.
