Jerome Joint School District No. 261

PERSONNEL 5495

Compensation Time – Non Contract Employees

Compensation time may occur when an unanticipated increase in the employee’s work load requires service

beyond the normal work hours. Regular full time employees working 40 hours per week are eligible for

compensation time with authorization of their supervisor. Compensation time will be one and one half times the

hours worked in excess of forty hours worked per week.

Use of compensation time must be approved in advance by the employee’s supervisor. Appropriate notations on

the employee’s time cards will occur.

Compensation will not be carried for more than thirty (30) days. The employee’s supervisor may extend the thirty

(30) days, if it is in the best interest of the district. Employees will not be allowed to accrue excessive amounts of

compensation time. When practical, compensation time will be used before sick, personal or vacation leave.

Supervisors will monitor employee’s accruals and insure that when compensation time reaches more than twenty

hours appropriate accommodations occur for the district and the employee
