What is the maximum comp bank hours allowed?

• A. 180 hours
• B. 200 hours
• C. 240 hours
• D. 225 hours

Answer: (D)

The concept being tested is the cap on compensatory time (comp bank) accumulation. In the PBSO PBA, officers can bank overtime hours as comp time to take off later, but there’s a fixed ceiling on how many hours can be in the bank: 225 hours. This limit helps keep overtime liability manageable, ensures time off is used rather than endlessly deferred, and keeps scheduling and coverage workable for the department. Once you reach that 225-hour limit, you can’t accrue more comp time until you use some hours or cash them out per the contract. So 225 hours is the maximum, not 180, 200, or 240.
