PAP.9.6.070 Overtime Pay

(a) When operating requirements or other needs cannot be met during regular working hours, team members may be requested to work overtime. When possible, Director/Managers will provide team members the opportunity to volunteer for overtime work assignments.

(b) All overtime must receive the Director/Managers prior authorization. Overtime assignments will be distributed as equitably as practical to all team members qualified to perform the required work. However, overtime assignments are at the discretion of the responsible Director/Manager and no team member has a vested right to particular overtime assignments.

(c) Overtime compensation is paid to all non-exempt team members in accordance with applicable law.

(d) Non-exempt team members will be paid time and a half (1 ½) for authorized hours actually worked in excess of forty (40) hours in a week.

(e) Overtime pay is based on actual hours worked. Only hours actually worked may be used to calculate overtime pay. Paid time off for holidays, jury duty, vacation, sick leave, educational leave, or any leave of absence will not be considered "hours worked," except to the extent required by applicable law.

(f) Overtime earned, the length of time actually worked, reasons for such overtime, and authorization of actual work overtime will be documented by the responsible Director/Manager and maintained (for justification of overtime) in the appropriate files.

(g) Granting time off in place of overtime payments will not be allowed.

(h) Failure to work scheduled overtime or overtime worked without prior authorization from the Director/Manager may result in disciplinary action.

(i) False claims regarding overtime worked by team members will be subject to suspension or termination of employment.
