Overtime/Compensatory Time/Adjusted Work Schedule for Associate Staff

Employees may be required to work in excess of prescribed working hours or on a holiday in response to the Department's needs. Any hours worked between 37.5 hours to 40 hours are not considered overtime. Overtime/compensatory time/adjusted work schedules must be approved in advance by the employee’s supervisor and Assistant Superintendent.

For associate staff, overtime is defined as the number of hours worked beyond 40 hours in the work week. Overtime is only applicable for time which has been approved in advance and authorized by the supervisor. The Department of Education may provide compensatory time in lieu of overtime, but must compute compensatory time at not less than one and one-half hours for each overtime hour (Fair Labor Standards Act - http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/flsa/).

All overtime/compensatory time/adjusted work schedules for associate staff shall be used within a 30 day work period and a Request for Approval of Overtime/Compensatory Time/Adjusted Work Schedule Form must be submitted to the supervisor for prior approval.
