Overtime work is that in excess of 40 hours in one work week. Overtime work hours must be approved, in advance, by the department supervisor. Employees working overtime hours without this approval may be subject to corrective action.
If an hourly employee works more than 40 hours in a week, he/she will be paid overtime. Overtime pay is paid at 1.5 times the hourly rate. NOTE: Under federal law, hours may not be banked and used at a time past the regular work week.
Hours worked to make-up time spent attending classes for other reasons must be made up in the same week.
Paid holidays, paid sick leave, and paid vacation count as hours worked for the purpose of determining whether the employee worked more than 40 hours in any one work week and therefore earned overtime pay.
Salaried staff does not receive overtime pay or compensatory time off.
