COMPENSATORY TIME

1. Compensatory leave shall be administered according to Mississippi Code Annotated Section 25-3-92 (1) (1972). Compensatory leave shall be awarded to professional staff of the Board at an accrual rate equal to the amount of time worked. No compensatory leave will be awarded unless prior approval of the Executive Director or his/her designee is obtained, as is appropriate. Compensatory leave will be awarded when it is essential that a Board employee works or travel after normal working hours such as: a. Time worked on Saturday, Sunday and state Holidays. b. Time worked at night meetings c. Other times as deemed appropriate by the Executive Director. Use of compensatory leave is subject to prior approval of the Executive Director or his/her designee. Compensatory leave may be used for those purposes for which personal leave may be used except that compensatory leave may not be used in lieu of personal leave or leave without pay for the first day of an illness of an employee. 2. All employees covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act will be granted compensatory time off at a rate of time and one-half for all hours worked over 40 hours in a work-week. Employees may accrue up to 240 hours of compensatory time. If an employee who is covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act accrues more than 240 hours of compensatory time, the additional hours will be paid.
