Quick Summary / Abstract
Adopt the revisions to Policy 4300.1, Overtime Pay or Compensatory Time, at this final reading.

A desktop audit of overtime expenditures was conducted during January 2009-March 2009.  As a result, the auditors proposed several recommendations to improve the approval, monitoring, tracking, and payment processes for overtime.  An Overtime Committee was established to review the auditor’s report, analyze the processes and determine which recommendations could be implemented or modified for implementation.  The recommendations and the revised Policy 4300.1-Overtime Pay or Compensatory Time were presented to the School Board at a School Board Workshop on June 8, 2010.    

The revised policy was reviewed by general counsel to ensure alignment with the Fair Labor Standards Act and applicable collective bargaining agreements.
