Overtime A. Definition Overtime is defined as actual time worked on the job exceeding forty (40) hours during the standard University workweek. Paid vacation and sick leave do not qualify as actual time worked. The Fair Labor Standards Act does not allow averaging time between weeks (e.g.: if twenty (20) hours are worked one week and sixty (60) hours another, averaging forty (40) hours per week, then a payment would have to be made for twenty (20) hours of overtime for the second week). B. Workweek for Computing Overtime The standard University workweek is 12:01 a.m. Sunday through Saturday midnight. C. Eligibility 1. Exempt Status Provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act do not apply and, therefore, positions in this category are not eligible for overtime payment. Usually, persons in executive, administrative and management classifications are included in this category. Exempt employees should not keep track of hours worked. 2. Non-Exempt Status Provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act do apply and positions in this category are eligible for overtime payment. Generally, persons who are hourly paid and on the bi-weekly payroll are non-exempt Employees. Overtime must be scheduled and approved by the Employee's immediate supervisor.
