An Employee shall be allowed to bank up to forty-eight (48) hours at any time in a year to be taken as time off in lieu of payment for overtime calculated at the appropriate rate.  This time off shall be taken at a time mutually agreed between the Employee and the Employer.  Banked overtime may be taken in conjunction with a scheduled vacation.  All banked lieu time must be utilized or paid out prior to a classification change.
