 
Overtime Policy 
 
PURPOSE & POLICY STATEMENT: 
 
To establish the parameters for the payment of overtime compensation. 
 
A.  Non-exempt employees will be paid at one and one half (1-1/2) times their regular rate for hours 
worked in excess of 40 hours in a work week.  If employees are unclear as to whether or not they 
qualify for overtime pay, employees should speak to their managers.    
 
B.  Non-exempt employees working standard schedules (8 hours or less per work day) will be paid 
at one and one half (1-1/2) times their regular hourly rate of pay for hours worked over 8.25 
hours in a work day or after 40 hours in a work week.  When employees are eligible for 
overtime, all the time after 8 hours will be paid at one and one half (1-1/2) times their regular 
hourly rate of pay.   
 
Example:  An employee working 8.25 hours in a day will be paid 8.25 hours of regular pay.  An 
employee working 8.5 hours in a day will be paid 8 hours of regular pay and .5 hours of 
overtime. 
 
C.  Non-exempt employees who work a flexible schedule will receive overtime pay for hours 
worked more than 15 minutes in excess of their budgeted daily hours or after working 40 hours 
in the work week.  
 
Example: An employee is scheduled to work 3 – 12 hour shifts each week.  An employee 
working 12.25 hours in a day will be paid 12.25 hours of regular pay.  An employee working 
12.5 hours in a day will be paid 12 hours of regular pay and .5 hours of overtime.  If the 
employee works additional hours during the remaining work week resulting in working over 40 
hours during that work week, he/she will be paid at the overtime rate for all hours worked in 
excess of 40 hours during that work week.
