Compensatory Time Policy
(Pike Conservation District)

Compensatory time may not be taken until it is accumulated and should be used prior to the end of the quarter in which it is accrued, unless approved in advance by the District Manager. There will be no accrual of compensatory time beyond the end of the calendar year. Employees should schedule comp time with the District Manager (and notify administrative staff) at least one week in advance of the date comp time is to be taken. Comp time requests will be granted subject to District staff availability, workload and responsibility to maintain operations.

Employees are provided with a ½ hour unpaid lunch period. Employees who choose not to take this lunch period may not claim it as comp time. The occasional exception is when an employee is required to maintain office and phone coverage during their lunch period due to absence from the office of other staff or if fieldwork or meeting schedules preclude an employee taking time for lunch. In these cases, the ½ hour lunch period may be claimed as comp time.
