Under FLSA guidelines, non-exempt employees shall have the ability to receive overtime compensation as a cash payment or as compensatory time subject to the accumulation cap of 240 hours. Eligible employees in the Police Department shall receive cash payment only. Exempt employees shall follow the City overtime policy.

If an employee works longer than the normal workday, they shall be paid double time for each hour worked in excess of their normal workday.</para>
