During the Emergency Period, employees released from work or who are not required to report to work due to the emergency event shall receive pay for their normally scheduled workday. These hours shall count as "time worked" for the purpose of computing overtime for non-exempt employees and shall be clearly noted on the time sheet with the appropriate emergency coding as designated by the Finance Department. 3. During the Emergency Period non-exempt Emergency Essential personnel (hourly, overtime eligible) employees shall be paid at a rate of two times (2x) base straight pay for normally scheduled hours and for all hours worked outside their regular scheduled work hours during the declared emergency conditions, when other employees are allowed administrative leave, until the City Manager declares that it is safe for all employees to return to work. After such time, the employee will be paid according to the normal pay policy. 4. During the Emergency Period and Post Impact/Recovery period, exempt employees shall be compensated by receiving pay for all time worked in excess of forty (40) hours in each work week during the declared emergency/disaster and Impact/Recovery period. The rate of pay for such additional hours worked shall be equivalent to the exempt employee's hourly rate of pay computed as if the employee was not paid on a salary basis. The additional compensation shall be in addition to the employee's regular salary. Each department will provide the appropriate forms for exempt employees to document their hours worked. Nothing herein shall be construed to affect the exempt status of such employees. 5.
