25 NCAC 01E .1006. COMPENSATORY TIME

Under the state's overtime compensation policy certain employees are designated as administrative, executive or professional.  Employees in these categories are exempt from the provision for overtime pay.  To grant these employees compensating time is a decision that must be made by the agency head.  When compensatory time is granted to administrative, executive or professional employees, the following shall apply:

(1)           Amount. Compensatory time is awarded at a rate not to exceed the individual's straight time equivalent rate;

(2)           Non‑cumulative.  Compensatory time is not cumulative beyond a 12‑month period.  For this reason, an employee must be required to take compensatory time as soon as possible after it is credited;

(3)           Non‑transferable.  Compensatory time is not transferable to any other type of leave or to another agency; and

(4)           Separation.  Compensatory time is lost when an employee is separated from state service.  The employee's separation date shall not be changed in order to pay for compensatory time.
