Exhibit A
Calculations of the 19 Additional days
and 11 hour Add On:
FLSA allows a police officer to work these
hours per 24-day pay period:
Carmel Police Department
Officers work 16 out of every 24-day
pay period on an 8.5 hour shift, or:
There are then 11 hours left before the
City is obligated to pay Garcia overtime at 1.5
regular pay. (147-136 = 11).
There are 15.2 overtime pay periods per year.
Thus 15.2 x 11 hours = 19.67 days each year.
(However, the canine officers agree to an even
19 days. )
