Windows 7 Upgrade Overtime

Agenda Item

Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on paying comp time in the amount of $525 -- and approving the related line item transfer -- to pay non-exempt Technology Services employees.

Background

Currently, if a non-exempt employee in the Technology Services department works overtime they receive comp time rather than being paid for the time worked. Because the expiration of Windows XP rendered all employees who deal with CJIS information non-compliant if they were using a Windows XP machine, it was critical that those machines be upgraded as soon as possible. This accrued a total of 14.5 hours of overtime from two of our non-exempt employees (with many more overtime hours from our exempt employees who do not receive additional compensation). Because we can't afford to have staff out of the office any more than they are already allowed for vacation and sick leave, we would like to be able to pay them for these specific hours worked while upgrading these machines to Windows 7 rather than give them comp time. Because we have an employee who is on prolonged absence without pay we do have the funds available in our budgeted salary line item.
