Recording Additional Pay:

Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) Exempt vs. Non-Exempt

Non-Exempt from Fair Labor Standards Act:a. Overtime/Compensatory (Comp) Time (time and ½)b. Must complete time recordsc. Earn Extra Time (hour for hour) for hours not

physically worked over 40 hours in a work week

Exempt from Fair Labor Standards Act:a. No Overtime/Comp Time/Extra Time (hour for hour)b. Do not complete time records

Non-exempt vs. Exempt status under FLSA is determined by analyzing the duties, responsibilities and salary of a position.

Overtime

•Overtime is a premium rate paid for hours actually over the standard 40 hour work week (not counting leave)

•Premium rate = 1.5 x Regular Hourly Rate

•Supervisor approval is required prior to working over the standard work week

•Non-exempt employees cannot volunteer to stay and work their job for free

Compensatory Time (Comp Time)

• Alternative to Paying Overtime

• Departmental Policy

• Earned at 1 ½ times the number of hours worked

• Entered into the Web Leave System

Comp Time Rules

• Earned by Non-Exempt Employees

• Any available Comp Time must be used before taking Annual Leave

• Employees may choose to use Sick Leave rather than available Comp Time

• Supervisors can require employees to use all available Comp Time instead of paying out

Comp Time Reminders

• Cannot age past 12 months

• Cannot accumulate over 240 hours

• Comp Time is to be used timely

• Supervisor can deny requests to use comp time if the leave will “unduly disrupt operations”

Extra Time

Hours worked are less than 40, but hours reported are greater than 40

Hours Reported = Time Worked + Leave Taken

•Non-exempt (FLSA) employees earn when overtime/comp time does not apply

•Departmental option to pay out for offer as leave request option

•After 12-months, unused time is paid out at an hourly rate

•Exempt employees do not earn Extra Time

•Earned hour-for-hour

Shift Premium

•Scheduled 2nd or 3rd Shifts

Holiday Pay Example

On Call

• Only Designated Jobs/Employees– Designated roles are reported to HR annually– Usually Non-Exempt, but some Exempt

• On-Call Employees Must be Available

• On-Call Compensation– $1.50 per hour

• When Overtime is worked in the same pay week as On-Call time is paid, the On-Call payment must be used to calculate the Weekly Overtime Rate of Pay

Emergency Call Back
