AC § 20-915
a. Upon mutual consent of the employee and the employer, an employee who is absent for a reason listed in subdivision a or b of section 20-914 of this chapter may work additional hours during the immediately preceding 7 days if the absence was foreseeable or within the immediately subsequent 7 days from that absence without using safe/sick time to make up for the original hours for which such employee was absent, provided that an adjunct professor who is an employee at an institute of higher education may work such additional hours at any time during the academic term. b. An employer shall not require an employee to work additional hours to make up for the hours for which such employee uses safe/sick time or to search for or find a replacement employee to cover the hours during which the employee uses safe/sick time. c. If an employee works additional hours upon mutual consent of the employee and employer, and such hours are fewer than the number of hours such employee was originally scheduled to work, then such employee shall be able to use any available safe/sick time for the difference. Should the employee work additional hours, the employer shall comply with any applicable federal, state or local labor laws. (Am. L.L. 2017/199, 11/6/2017, eff. 5/5/2018; Am.
