Overtime

Overtime is defined as all hours worked over 40 within the standard workweek. For purposes of overtime, paid leave is not considered hours worked. Supervisors are responsible for organizing the work of non-exempt employees so that overtime is not required.      When overtime work is unavoidable, the approval of the appropriate Vice-President must be obtained. Non-exempt employees will receive payment for overtime worked or be granted compensatory leave.      Under the Fair Labors Standards Act, Professional/Administrative employees are exempt from overtime pay. Professional/Administrative employees are not eligible for compensatory time off.

Compensation

Employees will paid an overtime rate of 1.5 times their normal hourly rate for hours worked in excess of 40 hours during the standard workweek.      Employees who receive compensatory leave will earn 1.5 hours of leave per each hour of overtime worked. An employee may not accumulate more than 60 hours of compensatory time. Time accumulated in one calendar quarter must by used by the end of the next calendar quarter.
