The University's policy provides for payment of overtime for all hours during each work week beyond 40.
Overtime pay is calculated at one and one-half times the regular hourly base pay.
This policy is in keeping with federal law, the Fair Labor Standards Act. Compensatory time arrangements that purport to bank or accrue overtime work, to be taken off at some later point, are not Permissible under the law nor University policy. Hours beyond 40 in any work week must be paid at the overtime rate. It is not permissible to average hours between two or more work weeks, in order to avoid the payment of overtime. A department may reduce hours in the second week of a pay period to offset the overtime expense incurred in the first work week.
