BCC employees that were not on an approved leave but were unable to work due to the suspension of regular BCC operations will incur no loss of regular pay for hours of work scheduled during this period. They should have Administrative Leave recorded for hours they were scheduled to work but were not able to as a result of the closure;

C. For non-exempt employees that worked during this time, they will be paid regular time for all hours as appropriate under labor agreements and BCC policy and overtime for hours worked in excess of 40 in this work week, consistent with the Fair Labor Standards Act and policy; and

D. As an option, exempt employees that worked on this day and totaled hours in excess of 40 hours for the work week will, subject to director and Board approval, receive straight time pay for each hour worked in excess of 40 hours in this work week.
