Overtime Policy

This policy applies to Staff and Hourly employees who are covered by federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) overtime pay provisions, including Support, Service, and Professional Overtime Staff and all Hourly employees.

Link to UHRS website concerning Overtime Policy Changes:
http://www.indiana.edu/~uhrs/policies/OT_changes.html

Effective May 16th, 2010, the Overtime policy will be modified and the calculation of overtime will be based on "hours worked" instead of "hours in pay status." Except for the paid time-off categories below, paid time off, such as vacation, PTO, sick time, Income Protection, and compensatory time off, does not count as part of the 40 hours in a week to determine if overtime pay is applicable and the amount of overtime pay that is due.

The following five categories of paid-time-off do count as part of the 40 hours in a week to determine if overtime pay is applicable and the amount of overtime pay that is due.

1. Adverse Weather (WTH)
2. Adverse Working Conditions (ADW)
3. Emergency Rest Time (ERT)
4. Holiday (HOL) and Holiday Taken (HTK)
5. Injury with pay (INJ)

The TIME system has been modified to assign hours to the appropriate categories based on hours worked. Two new earn codes have been established to compensate employees for the hours that do not qualify as overtime.

1. NEP: Non-Overtime Eligible Pay (hours x regular pay rate)
2. NEC: NO PAY - Non-Overtime Eligible Comp Hrs (regular hours added to Comp bank)
