110. The CEO may agree with an employee to other meal periods for the purpose of this provision.
However, any agreement must provide for four meal periods in a 24 hour period.
Time off instead of overtime
111. An employee may choose to take time off in lieu of payment for overtime on an hour for hour basis

time will not be lost or forfeited by an employee.
