Statement of Compliance

It is the policy of the University to compensate Employees in an accurate and timely manner, in accordance with University and Kansas Board of Regents rules, and applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations, including but not limited to the Fair Labor Standards Act (鈥淔LSA鈥�). This includes appropriately compensating Non-Exempt Employees for Overtime.

Overtime Worked and Advance Authorization Required

1. When a Non-Exempt Employee works more than forty (40) hours per Workweek, it is considered Overtime. Only hours actually worked are considered Overtime. Hours attributable to paid leave or a holiday within the Workweek are not considered when determining whether an Employee worked Overtime.
2. A Non-Exempt Employee shall not work Overtime without knowledge and prior approval as set forth below.
3. If a Non-Exempt Employee is required to work additional time that could result in the Employee working Overtime, Leadership may adjust the Employee鈥檚 schedule accordingly (e.g., give the Employee equivalent time-off, on an hour-for-hour basis, in the Workweek in which the additional time is worked), unless such schedule adjustments are prohibited by written agreement, including collective bargaining agreements, between the University and Employee.
4. If a Non-Exempt Employee works Overtime without the knowledge and prior approval of Leadership, it is the policy of the University that such time must be reported accurately and the Employee must be accurately compensated for such time. However, the Employee may be subject to Corrective Action.

Compensatory Time Provided in Lieu of Overtime Pay

1. Overtime Pay and Compensatory Time are not available to Exempt Employees.
2. Generally, Compensatory Time will be authorized instead of Overtime Pay.
3. Non-Exempt Employees will only be paid Overtime Pay when such pay is approved, in advance, by the Employee鈥檚 budget officer. If such approval is not granted, in advance, the Employee will receive Compensatory Time.

Earned Compensatory Time and Overtime Pay

Compensatory Time and Overtime Pay are each earned at a rate of one and one-half hours for each hour the Employee works over forty (40) hours in a Workweek.

Accrual of Compensatory Time

No Employee shall accrue more than sixty (60) hours of Compensatory Time. Overtime Pay shall be paid in the event an Employee accrues more than sixty (60) hours of Compensatory Time.

Use of Compensatory Time

1. Accrued Compensatory Time can be used when an Employee has a Compensatory Time balance and desires to use it in place of other leaves (e.g., vacation leave, sick leave, or discretionary days).
2. Compensatory Time must be used in one quarter (.25) hour increments on the actual day used. If the Compensatory Time balance is less than one quarter (.25) hour, the Employee should enter hours as needed to exhaust the remainder of any accrued Compensatory Time.
3. Compensatory Time must be used within a twelve-month period from the time it is accrued.
4. Employee requests to use accrued Compensatory Time may be denied if granting such request would be unduly disruptive to the University鈥檚 operations.

Compensatory Time Pay-Out

Accrued Compensatory Time shall be paid out at the regular rate earned by the Employee at the time of payment unless otherwise stated below. Accrued Compensatory Time shall be paid out to Employees in the following situations:

1. If the Employee moves from a Non-Exempt status to an Exempt status.
2. If the Employee transfers to another position or department within the University and receives a decrease in hourly base rate of pay, accrued Compensatory Time will be paid out at the higher pay rate before the decrease is put into effect.
3. If the Employee fails to use any accrued Compensatory Time within a twelve-month period from the time it is accrued.
4. At the time of Employee鈥檚 separation from employment with the University. Upon separation of employment, the Employee will be paid for unused, accrued Compensatory Time at a rate not less than the higher of:
   1. The average regular rate received by Employee during the last three (3) years of employment; or
   2. The final regular rate received by Employee.
5. Upon request of the Employee, if such request is reviewed and approved by Leadership and the Employee鈥檚 budget officer.

1. Compensatory Time: Compensatory Time is paid time off the job which is earned by eligible Employees in lieu of Overtime Pay.
2. Corrective Action: Corrective Action shall include any type of disciplinary action, including, but not limited to, coaching, corrective action, suspension, and separation, as set forth under University Policy.
3. Employee: An individual who provides services to the University on a regular basis in exchange for compensation and receives a W-2 for such services.
