For the purpose of overtime compensation, employees are classified as either exempt or non-exempt. These exemptions are narrowly defined, and statutory overtime provisions may not be waived for those classified as non-exempt.
Non-Exempt: Employees in non-exempt positions are entitled to receive overtime compensation when they work more than 40 hours in a work week.
Exempt: Employees in exempt positions are not entitled to overtime compensation.
Non-exempt employees may be requested by their supervisor to work extra hours at times when workloads or unusual circumstances make it necessary. Employees will be paid their regular hourly rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of their contracted hours up to 40 hours in a work week. Employees will be paid one and one-half times their regular rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in a work week.
Only actual hours worked in a given workweek are included when determining which hours constitute overtime. For example, non-work holidays, vacation days, and other leave are not included. All overtime hours must be approved in advance, and working overtime without prior authorization may result in disciplinary action.
