Follow these steps to determine whether a criminal investigator (who receives availability pay) may receive overtime pay:
| Step One | Is the investigator on an alternative work schedule or a first 40-hour tour of duty? If Yes, apply the special overtime rules for these schedules. If the investigator performed overtime work, go to Step Three. If No, go to Step Two. |
|---|---|
| Step Two | Did the investigator work more than 8 hours in a day or 40 hours in a week? If Yes, the excess hours are overtime hours. Go to Step Three. If No, the investigator did not perform overtime work. |
| Step Three |
Were the overtime hours regularly scheduled--i.e., scheduled in advance of the workweek? If Yes, the hours do not count toward the required 2-hour average. Go to Step Four. If No, the hours count toward the required 2-hour average. The investigator does not receive overtime pay. |
| Step Four |
Did the overtime hours occur on a regular workday--i.e., a day during the basic 40-hour workweek on which the investigator performed at least 4 hours of nonovertime work? If Yes, the investigator receives overtime pay only for overtime hours that exceed two hours on a regular workday. If NO, the investigator receives overtime pay for the overtime hours. |
