IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY - EXTENSION OF ADDITIONAL
COMPENSATION FOR OVERTIME EXEMPT EMPLOYEES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Miscellaneous Resolution #99155 authorized additional compensation for overtime exempt
employees to assist with the implementation of CLEMIS programs and to provide a cost effective
alternative to adding temporary contractual staff; and
WHEREAS the authorized additional compensation for overtime exempt employees provided that hours
worked beyond a 48 hour workweek must be pre-approved by supervision in order to be compensable at
a straight time hourly rate; and
WHEREAS Miscellaneous Resolution #99155 provided an initial period of 24-30 months for the additional
compensation provision to be tried and this period of time has now been completed; and
WHEREAS a review by the Personnel Department of the use of the additional compensation provision
shows that it was appropriately and moderately applied; and
WHEREAS continuation of the availability of the additional compensation provision would provide the
Information Technology Department with a resource to assist in the implementation of CLEMIS and other
programs and projects; and
WHEREAS the Director - Information Technology would like the option to apply the additional
compensation provisions defined by Miscellaneous Resolution #99155 to select CLEMIS and other critical

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners authorizes additional

Managers and the Director) at a straight time hourly rate for all hours worked beyond 48 hours in a
workweek (hours worked beyond 48 in a workweek must be pre-approved by supervision in order to be
compensable).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this additional compensation is intended for the duration of the
CLEMIS roll out phase, anticipated to be 24-30 months in duration; however, continuation of this
additional compensation will be subject to review and evaluation for continuation by the Board of
Commissioners after one year.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a quarterly report to the liaison committee of the Information
Technology Department reflect the additional compensation for this purpose.
Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing
