Description
Plaintiffs C.A. "Chuck" Schoonover and John M. Valdez served as deputy sheriffs for Bonner County in the 1970s and early 1980s, during which time they accrued substantial overtime hours. The Bonner County policy manual in existence during that time gave overtime, in the form of "comp time" off, for all hours worked in excess of forty per week, at the discretion of the department head. The manual encouraged employees to "use comp time during the period in which it is earned." However, the Bonner County Sheriffs Department was understaffed and deputies were unable to use the "comp time." The Bonner County Commissioners testified that the County was aware that deputy sheriffs, as well as the sheriff himself, were accumulating overtime hours in large numbers, and further testified that the de facto county policy became that, upon termination of their employment with the County, sheriffs deputies would be paid for overtime accrued, provided the hours could be substantiated. This practice was routinely followed and, in fact, both former Sheriff Eveland and present Sheriff Don Nelson were paid in full for the hours of overtime they had accumulated while serving as deputy sheriffs.
