Ordinance Amending the Personnel Policy Regarding Compensatory Time Accrual
WHEREAS, the Personnel Policy for the Town of Pulaski requires an amendment clarifying the
manner in which compensatory time is awarded, when various types of leave are utilized by
employees within the same work period;
NOW, THEREFORE be it ORDAINED by the Town Council of the Town of Pulaski, Virginia, sitting
in regular session this 20th day of April, 2021 that "Section 5: Compensation Plan", Subsection L;
"Public Safety" and "Non -Public Safety" of the Town Personnel Manual shall be amended to read
as follows:
Public Safety: Firefighters and personnel engaged in law enforcement activities shall be on a 28
day work period. Overtime pay will be paid to Firefighters who work over 212 hours in a given work
period and law enforcement officers working over 160 hours in a given work period
Non Public Safety: All non-public safety personnel shall be scheduled on a seven-day calendar
workweek from Monday through Sunday. While general Town operations operate on a Monday to
Friday basis, the Town may schedule employees on any day during any time period based on
services required. Overtime pay will be paid to non-exempt employees working greater than 40
hours in a given work period.
Overtime Calculation: For purposes of calculating overtime hours, "Hours Worked" includes time
that the employee is on duty and does not include time that is taken for holiday, vacation, personal,
sick or compensatory time. In those cases where the employee has taken leave which has caused
their total hours to go over 40 hours in a week for non-public safety, 212 hours in a 28 day period
for Firefighters, or 160 hours in a 28 day period for Police Officers, they will earn compensatory
time at a straight time rate or be paid for their time at a straight time rate and not at a time and a
half rate, unless their hours worked should exceed those limits within that same time period.
Exceptions to the normal calculation process may be made by the Town Manager for an
emergency situation.
This resolution is effective upon adoption and is hereby adopted this 20th day of April 2021 by the
duly recorded vote of the Town Council of the Town of Pulaski, Virginia as follows:
Lane R. Penn
-Aye
James A. Radcliffe
-Aye
