Patient care requires the overtime. A research project or funding would be placed in jeopardy. A contract would be lost. Payment for overtime will be made only when granting compensatory time off is not feasible and the exempt employee would be paid at straight time. You may consult your supervisor to determine departmental policies and practices regarding overtime and compensatory time.
Some departments grant compensatory time off to exempt classified employees.
Sick leave will cover a parent, child or spouse who does not live in your household, but is totally dependent on you for personal care or services on a continuing basis. If you are a full-time employee, you accrue sick leave at the rate of eight hours for each month or fraction of a month of employment. If you are a part-time employee, you accrue sick leave proportionally to the percentage of time worked. You accrue sick leave from the date of your employment, but you may not use your sick leave until you have been employed for 30 calendar days. All unused sick leave is carried forward each month.
