Additional Straight Time Pay Exempt employees are not normally compensated for hours worked beyond 40 in the workweek. Also, the State Department of Personnel and Training no longer permits new authorizations to award straight time pay. Exempt employees in positions previously authorized to receive straight time pay may continue to be compensated in this manner. Additional hours will be documented on the employee's time and attendance record and forwarded to Payroll for processing. Non-exempt employees are not allowed to work overtime without authorization of management.
Managers are responsible for controlling the work hours of non-exempt employees.
Non-exempt employees must be advised in advance and agree, in writing, to the form of overtime compensation that they will receive. Maximum accumulation of overtime leave is 60 hours. This may happen when a university holiday has occurred or when an employee has taken paid leave such as annual, sick, or other approved leave during the workweek. This type of leave is only applicable to hours worked outside the normal work schedule or on holidays when the total hours actually worked during the workweek is below 40 due to the presence of a holiday or because the employee was on sick, annual, or other approved leave during the workweek. Compensatory leave expires one year from the date that it is earned.
