§ 82-131. Policy of division  


Latest version.
  • Exempt employees are not subject to overtime/compensatory time off provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act. When setting salaries for exempt positions, considerations are given to the scope and time commitment of the positions as opposed to the number of tasks completed and hours worked. Therefore, there are no provisions in the Dallas County Code that guarantee exempt employees will be granted any time off for hours worked in excess of 40. Exempt employees are expected to work the required number of hours in order to perform their job assignments, even if that requirement exceeds 40 hours per week.
