Background:
On June 12, 2026, the City Council approved the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Lancaster and the Lancaster Police Officers Association (LPOA). As outlined in the prior staff report, the MOU included a modification to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) Section 7(k) work period for overtime calculation purposes. The prior staff report proposed transitioning from a twenty-eight (28) day work period to a seven (7) day work period.
Staff are now recommending that the FLSA Section 7(k) work period be amended to a fourteen (14) day work period for overtime calculation purposes. This amendment is limited to the FLSA work period and does not otherwise modify the terms of the previously approved MOU.
