4. Non-Exempt Employee (NE1-NE3) Definition: (Overtime Procedure & Comp Time Procedure)

Non-Exempt Employees are eligible for overtime compensation. All job descriptions are designed to accomplish the work of the position within a 40-hour work week.  Related to overtime, each employee is responsible for obtaining supervisor approval for any time they plan to work in excess of the work hours established and posted as the official work period for their position.  Although any authorized overtime worked is properly compensated as required by law, all employees are cautioned that overtime worked without prior approval may lead to disciplinary action.  Work schedules are adjusted by the area supervisor to avoid overtime in most cases.  If there is a bona fide necessity for overtime, it must be approved by the area supervisor, and any payment for overtime must be approved by the President.  If overtime is approved, it will be paid at the rate of 1.5 times the regular hourly rate of pay.  This group of employees will be part of the Staff Assembly for purposes of the employee participative system.

Compensatory Time Procedure (Comp Time):  Comp Time may be utilized with the supervisor’s approval in lieu of overtime pay.  The employee will be compensated at a rate of 1.5 hours for each hour worked to determine the comp time that will be utilized.  Comp Time must be exhausted before the use of annual leave unless this action results in a loss of annual leave due to maximum accrual.  Comp Time must be taken within a reasonable time and should not be disruptive to the departments.  Supervisor approval is required to utilize Comp Time.  A supervisor may request that an employee use all or a portion of the comp time at any time deemed advisable and the maximum accrual is 128 hours.  Due to their job responsibilities, some positions are exempt from the 40-hour workweek limitation.  Comp Time hours are to be tracked by the area supervisor utilizing the Time and Attendance Record (found on MSC Commons).
