  Policies + Procedures  —  Human Resources Policies  —  Overtime Pay

4.4 Overtime Pay

It is the policy of the College to provide Overtime Pay to employees whose positions are determined as eligible for Overtime Pay by the Fair Labor Standards Act according to the following guidelines.

Effective Date

This policy is effective July 1, 2001

Classified Employees

Overtime will be paid for all hours worked in excess of 37 1/2 hours in a pay week. An employee's immediate Supervisor must approve all overtime hours in advance.

Overtime will be paid either by

  • Overtime Pay which equals 1.5 times the sum of the employee's regular hourly pay rate + any shift differential + the employee's hourly Benefit Waivers rate, if any, or
  • Compensatory Time Off which equals 1.5 times the number of hours worked in excess of 37 1/2 hours in a pay week.

An employee's hourly Benefit Waivers rate, if any, can be determined by calling the College's Benefits Manager.

The employee and his/her immediate Supervisor must agree in advance of the Overtime hours being worked that Compensatory Time Off will be taken in lieu of Overtime Pay.

If Overtime Pay is elected by the employee, his/her overtime hours worked must be reported to Payroll in a timely manner so that he/she will receive his/her Overtime Pay on the next regularly scheduled payday following the pay period during which the Overtime Pay was earned.

If the employee elects Compensatory Time Off, the earned Compensatory Time Off must be taken within the same pay period in which the Compensatory Time Off is earned. If the anticipated Compensatory Time Off cannot be taken within the same pay period, the employee must receive Overtime Pay instead.

Only actual hours worked in a pay week and time when the College is closed due to an Emergency that occur during an employee's regularly scheduled work time will be counted as time worked for overtime calculation purposes. No other hours will be considered as time worked for overtime calculation purposes.

The College will also honor all additional overtime obligations as detailed in the applicable Personnel Policies for Classified Employees handbook.

Security, Maintenance and Custodial Employees

Overtime will be paid for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in a pay week.

An employee's immediate Supervisor must approve all overtime hours in advance.

Overtime Pay equals 1.5 times the sum of the employee's regular hourly pay rate + any shift differential + the employee's hourly Benefit Waivers rate, if any.

An employee's hourly Benefit Waivers rate, if any, can be determined by calling the College's Benefits Manager.

The College will also honor all additional overtime obligations as agreed to in the applicable contract covering Security, Maintenance and Custodial employees.

Exempt Employees

Exempt employees are not eligible for Overtime Pay.
