Bandera council removes emergency comp-time language for exempt employees
Summary
Council approved revisions to the comp time policy: exempt employees will not accrue compensatory time except in narrowly defined declared emergencies; the council voted to strike the broader emergency-comp-time section from the personnel manual.
The council approved changes to the city’s comp-time policy on July 28, removing language that had allowed exempt employees to accrue compensatory time except under narrow circumstances.
“My motion in the beginning was just to eliminate comp time for exempt employees,” a council member said during debate; council members discussed exempt versus nonexempt distinctions, FEMA funding considerations for declared emergencies and whether ordinary overtime should be built into salary expectations for exempt staff.
Council agreed to retain a narrowly defined emergency authorization (only for declared emergencies) as appropriate in prior drafts but ultimately directed staff to remove the emergency comp-time section; a motion to approve the revised policy with that section removed was made and carried by unanimous vote. Staff indicated the revised policy will be reflected in the personnel manual and returned in final form.
