Subject:

Discussion and possible action to authorize the use of Payroll Savings to cover the excess of max amount of hours required to pay for Employee ID 3154 and Employee ID 3150 not to exceed 139.50 hours and 6.50 hours respectively.

From: 1001-1130-001-431007-015	Operational Reserve Wage Classification	$5,343.76

To: 1001-2140-001-410000	Payroll Cost	$4,443.76
1001-2140-001-422000	FICA	$340.00

	Total	$5,343.76

Issue: It is mandated by Department of Labor to pay any hours to civilian employees that have exceeded the max of 240 hours of Comp Time immediately after the hours are recorded. (See attached). This department has just joined the Time Clock Plus and was discovered that these comp time had been accrued for several years. The department does not have a line item for overtime pay.

Solution: Treasury will pay these monies from the payroll cost account #1001-2140-410000 and will re-classify after approval to fund 3015 (Payroll Savings). With time clock plus in place, all accruals will be monitored each pay period and we can see all clocks in and out daily. Treasury has advised department to reduce their 240 hours remaining.

Result: Paying immediately will avoid penalties involved by Department of Labor (Double the amount - the amount plus the penalty).
