2003 LAWS OF MARYLAND

2-411. MODIFIED WORK WEEK.

(A)     AUTHORIZED.

IF AUTHORIZED BY THE SECRETARY, A POLICE EMPLOYEE OR A 40-HOUR
CIVILIAN EMPLOYEE MAY WORK AN ALTERNATIVE WORKDAY OF NOT MORE THAN 12
HOURS INSTEAD OF AN 8-HOUR WORKDAY.

(B)     COMPENSATION; PERSONAL LEAVE.

(1)      EMPLOYEES WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE ALTERNATIVE MODIFIED
WORKDAY PROGRAM ARE ENTITLED TO COMPENSATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH §
8-305 OF THE STATE PERSONNEL AND PENSIONS ARTICLE.

(2)      PERSONAL LEAVE FOR THESE EMPLOYEES SHALL BE BASED ON AN
8-HOUR WORKDAY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 88B, § 23B(b) and (c).

In subsection (a) of this section, the defined term "police employee" is
substituted for the former reference to a "law-enforcement employee" for
consistency with terminology used throughout this subtitle and this title.

Also in subsection (a) of this section, the former phrase "of the
Department" is deleted as unnecessary in light of the defined terms "police
employee" and "civilian employee".

Former Art. 88B, § 23B(a), which defined "nonexempt" as being entitled to
pay for overtime work under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, is
deleted as unnecessary because the term was not used in the former law
and is not used in the revision.

Defined terms: "Civilian employee" § 2-101
"Department" § 2-101
"Police employee" § 2-101
"Secretary" § 2-101

2-412. POWERS OF POLICE EMPLOYEES.
