Exempt employees may be given time off with pay by the supervisor in recognition of excessive hours already worked. The established period for determining hours worked and pay due for non-exempt employees is Monday through Sunday. Non-exempt employees must receive overtime pay for all hours worked over 40 per week during the established period. Further, after am employee has worked six consecutive days, the University pays double time for all hours worked over 40 per week on Sunday. Further, after the employee has worked six consecutive days, the University pays double time for all hours worked over 40 on the seventh day of the established period.
Overtime is paid based on hours actually worked each week.
Voluntary leave does not count as hours worked. When a non-exempt employee works overtime on a job for which a different rate of pay has been established, the University may use the weighted average of two rates formula, as defined in the Fair Labor Standards Act, in computing the overtime rate. All regular and extended temporary employees are eligible to be compensated at their regular hourly rate for hours normally scheduled to be worked on a University approved holiday. Part-time employees are compensated according to the number of hours they normally would have been scheduled to work. In units which must be open on a holiday, employees may volunteer to work the holiday, with the approval of the supervisor, at their regular rate and receive equal time off at another time, usually during the same or following pay period, as long as the hours worked in that week do not exceed 40.
