Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to communicate the College’s overtime/compensatory time compensation practice for non-exempt employees.

Policy

Non-exempt employees of the College are entitled to receive overtime pay at the rate of one and one-half times the regular rate for each hour worked over 40 working hours per week.

The 40-hour work week begins at 12:00 a.m. Monday and extends through 11:59 p.m. the following Sunday, unless otherwise defined by the administration.
