Fire Prevention Personnel have the option to accrue compensatory time off in lieu of overtime at the rate of one and one-half(1.5)hours for each hour worked. Upon the approval of the Fire Department, compensatory time may be accrued but the total balance may not exceed one hundred and twenty(120) hours at any time. Compensatory time off may be taken in lieu of overtime payment in accordance with the FLSA.
