The June annual Compensatory Time Off (CTO) election period in MyTime is open from June 1 to June 30.
With the MyTime implementation, CTO elections take place electronically in MyTime. When an eligibility period opens, employees will find a link to the Comp Election for New Hire or FLSA Change form in the Business Processes tile on their home page.
A new CTO job aid provides step-by-step instructions on how to complete a CTO election in MyTime at the time of hire, change in eligibility, or during an annual election period. If you need help completing a CTO election in MyTime, contact the Controller’s Office Solution Center.
More about CTO Changes in Conjunction with MyTime
CTO or "Comp Time" is the ability to bank hours in lieu of getting paid out overtime. Eligible employees are offered the option to elect CTO in lieu of their overtime being paid out. CTO is offered at the time of hire and then annually in accordance with applicable collective bargaining contracts.
- Shift differentials earned for working overtime during evening and night shifts will be paid on the same paycheck as when the CTO hours are earned. As a result, shift differentials will no longer be paid when the CTO is used. This change applies only to teammates who are in shift differential eligible job codes.
- At the time of CTO paydown or payout, all sums in the employee's bank will be paid in accordance with the operating collective bargaining agreement(s). Any approved time off where the employee had planned to use CTO beyond the paydown or payout date may still be taken, as long as the time off was approved prior to the date of CTO paydown or payout. Under such circumstances, employees may use available vacation time, other accrued leave as appropriate, or choose to take unpaid leave. This change will be implemented on MyTime’s go-live date.
- Accumulated but unused CTO will be paid out to teammates twice per year in April and October, except for teammates represented by the California Nurses Association (CNA), who will maintain a bank of 36 hours when electing CTO.
- Due to the timing of the MyTime Rollout the first payout from MyTime will be in October 2025.
- Teammates will have their CTO balance paid down to 100 hours each pay period once the balance reaches 120 hours.
- Teammates may accrue no more than 240 hours of CTO. Any overtime earned once the 240-hour threshold is hit will be paid out as overtime.
- CTO election will occur annually in accordance with collective bargaining agreements via MyTime. Advertised election periods are March - April for NX and June for all other unions and policy-covered employees.
