workweek for specific, pre-approved assignments has been annually authorized beginning with
Miscellaneous Resolutions #99155; and
WHEREAS the Human Resource Department initially developed and proposed this
approach in response to the occasional, identified need of the Information Technology
Department to address a particular technical project or problem; and
WHEREAS the Human Resource Department has assessed the value and cost of this
program and found it provides the Director of Information Technology with an effective
management tool which is cost and project-effective compared to other alternatives such as
contracted staff; and
WHEREAS updated usage statistics of Additional Compensation for Overtime Exempt
Employees is provided to the Board of Commissioners in each Information Technology Master
Plan Quarterly Status report; and
WHEREAS Miscellaneous Resolution #06192 required that this additional compensation
provision be subject to review and evaluation for continuation by the Board of Commissioners
after one year.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners authorizes, for
one year, Fiscal Year 2008, additional compensation for overtime exempt employees in the
Information Technology Department (excluding Managers and the Director) at a straight-time
hourly rate for all hours worked beyond 48 hours in a work week (hours worked beyond 48 in a
work week must be pre-approved by supervision in order to be compensable) for specific pre-
approved assignments.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Information Technology will continue to report on the
usage of additional compensation for overtime exempt employees in the Master Plan Quarterly
Status document.
