What are we asking for?

July 22, 2025

We’re proposing that supervisors need to get approval to give an employee comp time before assigning extra work to that employee.

Additionally, if you have unused comp time, each year, you can choose to be paid for that time instead of needing to use it before losing it.

For exempt staff (those who can’t earn overtime) 

  • If you’ve earned comp time and have not used it by a certain point each year (deadline TBD), you’ll get a monetary payout for your earned comp time, unless you request that it remain comp time.

For non-exempt staff (those who can/do earn overtime) 

  • If you’ve earned comp time and have not used it by a certain point each year (deadline TBD), you can elect to cash in your unused comp time. If you do not, it will remain comp time.
