The City will pay 4% of the employees' contribution of 7% (9% for safety personnel) to the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) and provide retirement benefits as currently specified under the City's contract with PERS. All such contributions shall be deposited in the member's Retirement Account. PERS Retirement Program: The City agrees to meet and confer with the Union, at the same approximate time it meets with other employee Unions or Associations, if the City or another "miscellaneous" Union or Association proposes adding PERS retirement benefits. Section 6: Overtime A. Work Period: The work period of non -sworn employees 7 days in length , 40 hours per week, and shall start in the middle of the eight (8) hour shift. B. Overtime Pav: All non -sworn employees required to work in excess of their regularly scheduled shift or of 40 hours per work period shall receive compensation at the rate of time and one-half the regular rate of pay. The regular rate of pay shall include (if applicable) educational incentive and special assignment pay in addition to base salary. In determining an employee's eligibility for overtime at the regular rate of pay, paid leaves of absence shall be included in calculating the total hours worked. There shall be no pyramiding of overtime. Hours worked by an employee in any workday or work period on which premium rates have once been allowed shall not be used again in any other overtime calculation other than computing total actual hours worked. Overtime shall be recorded and paid in minimum increments of 15 minutes. C. Compensatory Time Off: Each represented employee shall, at the employee's discretion, be entitled to payment of overtime compensation in the form of cash or compensatory time off. If the employee chooses to receive overtime compensation in the form of compensatory time off, then such compensatory time off shall be earned at the same rate (one and one- half times the employee's hourly rate) as in the case of overtime earned. The maximum number of compensatory time off hours which may be accumulated (after conversion, at time and one-half) by a represented employee is 480 (320 hours worked times time -and -one-half). Once an employee has accumulated 480 hours, then all future overtime shall be paid in cash. The number of compensatory time off hours which the employee has accumulated during any time period, shall carry over from year to year and month to month, and under no circumstance, shall be deleted unless such action is in accord with this section of the MOU. No employee shall be involuntarily required to utilize all or part of his/her compensatory time off. Any employee desiring to utilize all or part of his/her accumulated compensatory time off shall make application to a supervisor vested with the authority to grant such application. If, as a result of the needs of the organization, the responsible supervisor, in his/her discretion, is unable to grant the use of such compensatory time off, then the application shall be denied. During the first payroll period of November and May of any fiscal year, any represented employee having accumulated compensatory time off, may, at the employee's discretion, mandate that the City provide the employee with a cash disbursement at the hourly rate existing at the time of disbursement and with reference to the number of hours designated by the employee. The City shall comply with such direction from the employee. Upon the employee's separation from City service, for any reason, the City shall disburse to the employee, at the hourly rate existing at the time of disbursement, the value, in cash, of all accumulated compensatory time off.
