Work cycles begin on Saturdays and conclude on Fridays. Changing work cycles must be approved through the appropriate administrative authority, Human Resources Representative and Budget Office Representative. Overtime Management Overtime should be managed and only granted under extenuating circumstances in which major project deadlines, patient care, contracts or University funding would be jeopardized. All overtime must be approved by the department director or designee prior to being worked. Overtime Reporting Responsibilities and Accountability Employees are responsible for accurately reporting time worked.
Managers are responsible for authorizing and verifying actual time worked for employees.
Failing to report overtime worked for non-exempt employees and reporting unworked overtime constitute falsification of official time records. Falsification of time records is grounds for disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. A designated member of each department will record employees' overtime on the time roster as detailed in the Time Reporting Manual . Exempt Overtime Administration Exempt employees who work approved overtime generally receive compensatory time in accordance with UTMB policy. However, there may be situations which necessitate paying overtime due to market conditions or other extenuating circumstances.
