Overtime Pay
Overtime may be permitted in exceptional circumstances for Non-Exempt Staff employees, but only at the request of a supervisor and with the approval of a Department Head. Exempt Staff employees are not eligible for overtime pay.
Non-Exempt Staff:
Payment of time and one-half will apply after more than forty (40) hours in a week have been worked. 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, employees 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 the time sheet. Accumulating time off (also known as “comp time”), 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 a supervisor of an employee and the Office of Human Resources. Employees who have a full-time academic year appointment (9 or 10 months) may be eligible to earn additional salary in the summer months.
