Sec. 411.016. SUPPLEMENTAL PAY. (a) This section applies to an officer commissioned by the department who is not employed in a position that the director has declared to be administrative, executive, or professional.
(b) If, during a calendar week, the total number of hours worked by a commissioned officer plus the number of hours of leave taken for which the officer is entitled to compensation, including approved sick leave, vacation, holiday, holiday compensatory time, emergency leave, administrative leave, and jury duty, equal more than 40 hours, the excess is overtime. For each calendar month, the overtime for each week ending during that month shall be totaled. If the total overtime for the month exceeds eight hours, the officer may receive, in addition to the officer's regular monthly salary, a supplement determined as follows:
(1) a commissioned officer who accumulates more than eight hours but less than 16 hours of overtime in a calendar month may receive five percent of the officer's regular monthly salary;
(2) a commissioned officer who accumulated 16 or more hours but less than 32 hours of overtime in a calendar month may receive 10 percent of the officer's regular monthly salary; and
(3) a commissioned officer who accumulated 32 or more hours of overtime in a calendar month may receive 15 percent of the officer's regular monthly salary.
(c) The formula prescribed by Subsection (b) is the exclusive method of computing state compensation for overtime entitlements. This section applies only to the computation of overtime entitlements and does not apply to the method of compensating a commissioned officer for working on regularly scheduled state holidays.
(d) A commissioned officer may receive a supplement paid by the federal government earned while working on a project funded by the federal government, and that supplement may not be considered in determining a commissioned officer's entitlement under this section.
(e) If the funds appropriated to the department to provide supplemental pay are insufficient to pay all earned overtime entitlements, the director may provide for compensatory time to be taken during the biennium in which the entitlements are earned.
