Request for approval for employees to receive overtime pay in lieu of compensatory time earned for work duties directly related to the response and recovery of the Central Texas flooding event for each week ending July 4, 2025, through August 1, 2025, pursuant to the Disaster Pay Policy.
Harris County approved overtime pay for employees working Central Texas flood response and recovery, covering weeks ending July 4–August 1, 2025.
Harris County Commissioners Court approved a policy allowing county employees to receive overtime pay instead of compensatory time for work tied to the Central Texas flooding response and recovery. This covers pay periods from the week ending July 4, 2025, through August 1, 2025, under the county's Disaster Pay Policy. The measure passed on August 7, 2025.
Harris County employees who worked flood response and recovery duties may receive overtime pay in cash instead of saved time off. This affects how county payroll is handled during the July–August 2025 disaster period.
