DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
All Battalion Chief positions will be calculated at an hourly rate based on the annual hours worked, which includes built in overtime. The Battalion Chiefs will be considered Non-exempt, Board of County Commissioners employees, and will be considered eligible for overtime pay, per FLSA guidelines.
As a result of these proposed changes, the leave accruals of Battalion Chiefs have been updated into the Employee Handbook to reflect the following accruals:
Battalion Chiefs working a 24/48 shift will accrue annual leave at the follow rates:
|
Years of Continuous Service |
Leave Earned Per Pay Period |
Leave Earned Per Pay Year |
|
0 - 4.99 Years |
5.18 Hours |
134.68 Hours |
|
5 - 9.99 Years |
6.47 Hours |
168.22 Hours |
|
10+ Years |
8.61 Hours |
223.86 Hours |
An employee may accumulate leave in excess of the limitations during the calendar year; however, the excess leave must be used by the end of the last pay period of the calendar year as determined by the payroll department or it will be forfeited. The limitations of annual leave are as follows:
|
Years of Continuous Service |
Carry-Over Limitations |
|
0 - 4.99 Years |
342 Hours |
|
5 - 9.99 Years |
409 Hours |
|
10+ Years |
520 Hours |
Requests for annual leave made 14 calendar days in advance of the planned annual leave usage, shall be counted as hours worked.
