IN RE: HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT EXCEPTION TO MERIT RULE 2.10.1.2 —
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Merit Rule 2.10.1.2 provides that "Exceptions may be made in departments or
divisions which have received approval from the Board of Commissioners and the County Executive to
adopt work schedules other than eight hours per day, such as 4/40, flex time, etc."; and
WHEREAS the Information Technology Department is requesting an exception to Merit Rule
2.10.1.2 with regards to payment of overtime for non-exempt classifications as identified; and
WHEREAS overtime shall be paid after 40 hours in a work week in accordance with the Fair
Labor Standards Act; and
WHEREAS Information Technology Department's professional employees are working in a 24X7
high availability environment and staff are called upon to work outside of their regular work schedule
when dealing with maintenance, incident, and project related work; and
WHEREAS the option for non-exempt employees to use flextime versus overtime to meet the
needs of the departments cultivates a more productive, open work environment that provides both the
employees and their Supervisors another approach to accomplish the required work.

authorizes the exception to Merit Rule 2.10.1.2 for employees to receive overtime only after working in
excess of 40 hours per week in accordance with the employee's regular work schedule.
