CONSENT <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Jason Brown <br />County Administrator <br />FROM: Suzanne Boy11'° " o <br />Human Resources Director <br />DATE: December 31, 2018 <br />SUBJECT: Revision to Overtime Policy AM -301.3 Providing for Declared Emergency Pay <br />for Exempt Employees <br />BACKGROUND: <br />In the event of a declared emergency, employees of Indian River County Board of County <br />Commissioners (IRCBOCC) may be assigned to perform work in order to prepare for and respond <br />to the emergency. Currently, the County has established policies to provide compensation to <br />hourly (non-exempt) employees for hours worked during the declared emergency. Currently, there <br />is no written policy to provide additional compensation to salaried (exempt) IRCBOCC employees <br />who perform work during the declared emergency beyond the normal work schedule. <br />Staff is recommending that the Board of County Commissioners modify our policies to provide <br />for additional compensation to exempt salaried employees for hours worked beyond a normal work <br />schedule in support of a declared emergency. Additional compensation will be calculated based <br />on the additional hours worked at a rate of pay equal to the employee's hourly salary as used for <br />the purpose of payroll calculations. Compensation would be in addition to the employee's normal <br />biweekly salary. <br />FUNDING: <br />Funding for these expenditures would be included in the funding for expenses associated with a <br />declared emergency. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends the Board approve the amendment to Administrative Policy AM -301.3 <br />Overtime to include a provision for additional compensation to exempt employees who work <br />additional hours during a declared emergency. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />AM -301.3 Overtime Policy <br />132 <br />
