Oklahoma Regulations § 230:10-7-125 Overtime compensation for County Election Board employees

County Election Board employees, except the Secretary of the County Election Board, shall be compensated for all overtime hours in compliance with the federal Fair Labor Standards Act at the appropriate hourly rate. The Secretary is exempt from Fair Labor Standards Act coverage and shall not be entitled to receive overtime compensation. Overtime compensation shall be paid by the county through the regular payroll process for the period in which the overtime was incurred. County policy concerning the form of overtime compensation - whether monetary payment or compensatory time off work - shall be observed. If a County Election Board employee receives monetary payment for overtime, the appropriate amounts for state and federal taxes, social security, etc., shall be withheld. If overtime is paid with compensatory time off work, the appropriate number of hours is credited to the employee's record, and the employee shall be permitted to use the time upon request and the approval of the Secretary. When a County Election Board employee works overtime in connection with a regular or special election conducted for any entity other than the state or county, the Secretary is authorized to bill the entity for the amount of the overtime compensation plus any related employer-paid benefits on the Record of Expense and to reimburse the county for the overtime after receiving the entity's payment as outlined in 230:10-7-132 . Overtime for a County Election Board employee shall not be considered, billed, or paid as a contract labor expense.
