IN RE: HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT — EXCEPTION TO MERIT RULE 2.10.1.2 FOR IT
TRAINEE CLASSIFICATION — 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 M.R.14192 allowed for this exception for eighteen (18) IT classifications; and
WHEREAS the Information Technology Department is requesting to add an exception to Merit Rule
2.10.1.2 with regards to payment of overtime for the non-exempt classification of IT Trainee (job code
#01447); 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 department cultivates a more productive, open work environment that provides both the employees
and their Supervisors another approach to accomplish the required work.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners authorizes the
exception to Merit Rule 2.10.1.2 for employees in the classification of IT Trainee in the Information
Technology Department to receive overtime only after working in excess of 40 hours per week in
accordance with the employee's regular work schedule.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED this exception will apply to the IT Trainee classifications in the Information
Technology Department.
