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 4140, flex time, etc."; and
WHEREAS the Information Technology Department is requesting an exception to Merit Rule

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

needs of the departments cultivates a more productive, open work environment that provides both the
