The meal period is not to be included in hours worked for calculation of overtime pay. The employee is responsible for accurately and honestly recording hours worked on a time record and in accordance with departmental policies. A violation of this policy will subject the employee to corrective action up to and including termination. Supervisory personnel will review and approve time records at the conclusion of each pay period. When a non-exempt employee works a scheduled shift where shift differential is appropriate and that same scheduled shift worked is also overtime for the employee, the shift differential is included in the calculation of overtime.
Attendance is voluntary.
The program is not directly related to the employee's job. The employee does not perform any productive work during that time. An employee's voluntary attendance in a course of formal educational instruction after regularly scheduled work hours is not considered hours worked for purposes of calculating overtime. Exempt employees are hired under the condition that they are required to work as much time as necessary in order to fulfill the requirements of the position without additional compensation, even if they are required to work beyond their normal work hours. Any deviations of pay for exempt employees must be reviewed and approved by the senior human resources officer.
