B. 
Salaried employees shall not be specifically compensated for overtime in either money or compensatory time. They shall be expected to average at least the number of hours per week as required by the standard work week.
C. 
They will have their contributions to the development and accomplishment of departmental goals evaluated in terms of total performance, output and effectiveness.
D. 
Time absent from work and deviations from official work hours of the employee's department must be with the approval of the employee's department head who will be responsible for evaluating the employee's performance and justifying permitted deviations from established hours of work.
[Ord. No. 88-22 §18-4.050, 4-6-1988]
An employee who is called back to work for overtime after he has completed his regular work day and after he has left his formal place of work, shall receive a minimum payment equivalent of two (2) hours at the overtime rate or three (3) hours of compensatory time; provided however, that the employee shall receive credit only for the actual time worked on such call back in computing his total hours of work for purposes of determining additional overtime pay for the week involved.
