Certified teachers, certified accountants and other professionals are considered exempt, as are managers who spend more than half their time supervising at least 2 other employees or who have high-level staff responsibilities. Exempt employees are not eligible for overtime pay. Non-exempt employees include those in clerical and support service positions. Overtime pay at 1.5 times the employee's regular hourly rate is paid for hours worked over 8 hours in one workday or 40 hours in one workweek. Double pay is given for those hours worked over 12 hours in one workday.
Overtime pay is included in the employee's paycheck in the pay period in which it is earned.
If it is earned after the notification deadline for that pay period, then it is included in the next paycheck. Employees are informed of their exempt or non-exempt status at the time of hire. Changes in job duties or assignments can result in change in status.
