25 Yes The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is a federal law requiring that overtime pay must be paid for all hours over 40 hours in a work week except for those employees classified as exempt and thus not entitled to overtime. Management employees such as elected officials, managers/administrators, municipal clerks, CFOs, public works superintendents, police chiefs and other department heads are typically classified as having exempt status and thus not entitled to overtime pay. Other municipal employees may also be classified as exempt under the FLSA (you should consult with labor counsel for more detailed guidance). Exempt status would also preclude overtime pay for time worked during emergencies, attendance at night meetings and participation in training sessions. Compensated leave time in lieu of cash payments is considered to be a form of overtime pay unless such leave is utilized in the same pay period. Does your municipality refrain from paying overtime to employees classified as exempt under the FLSA?

26 No For any employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement, has your municipality instituted a policy to not compensate said employees for sick leave accumulated after a certain date? If such provisions were imposed by an arbitrator in binding arbitration but the municipality is seeking to eliminate such a contractual obligation through collective bargaining, your answer can be “N/A”. If answering "N/A", the municipality must identify under “Comments” each such provision imposed by an arbitrator, along with the status of the collective bargaining negotiations to eliminate each such provision.

27 No Has your municipality instituted a written policy to not compensate non-union employees for sick leave accumulated after a certain date?

28 Yes Has your municipality adopted an ordinance, resolution, regulation or written policy eliminating longevity awards, bonuses or payments for non-union employees?
