Overtime Pay

Overtime may be permitted in exceptional circumstances for Non-Exempt Staff employees, but only at the request of your supervisor and with the approval of your Department Head. Exempt Staff employees are not eligible for overtime pay.

Non-Exempt Staff

Payment of time and one-half will apply after you have worked more than forty (40) hours in a week. Time worked beyond 37 ½ hours a week, will be compensated at straight-time rates until 40 hours per week have been worked.

At the discretion of the Supervisor and subject to the approval of the Department Head, you may request to work additional hours in a work day in order to receive compensatory time off for justifiable reasons such as an unavoidable work day appointment, etc. Both the overtime and time off must take place within the same work week period and be designated as such on your Time Report Form. Accumulating time off is illegal and the University does not permit an accumulation of hours for future time off privileges.

Exempt Staff

Full-time administrative employees with an annual twelve-month salary base are not eligible to earn additional administrative salary from the University unless pre-approved by supervisor of employee and Human Resources. If you have a full-time academic year appointment (9 or 10 months) you may be eligible to earn additional salary in the summer months.
