Effective luly 8, 1994, these employees will no longer be allowed to accumulate such compensatory time on an unlimited basis. As of that date, no additional compensatory time may be accumulated when an employee has a total of 40 or more hours. Those employees having less than the 40 hours total may continue to be granted cbmpensatory time up to the 40 hour limit. Thos~ with 40 or more hours cannot be granted additional hours until their totals are reduced below the limit by usage. Time sheets should reflect the hours actually worked, but the compensatory time section should be used following the above guidelines. Any compensatory time accumulated through the end of work on July 7, 1994, and in excess of the 40 hour limit, should be used on the following schedule: TOTAL TIME ACCRUED REDUCE TO 40 HOUR TOTAL BY 40+ to 300hours 7/06/95 300+ to 1500 hours " 7/04/96 As of July 5, 1996, compensatory time totals for exempt employees will be reduced to 40 hours for those employees not already at the limit or below. As before: 1. Granting of compensatory leave is not automatic and must be approved by the designated supervisor. 2. Exempt employees will not receive financial compensation in lieu of compensatory leave. 3. Accrued compensatory leave for such employees shall be forfeited at the termination of employment. 4. This policy is not intended to establish a maximum 40 hour work week for salaried exempt personnel.
