An hourly (non-exempt) employee has agreed to work on a special project or event. How can I pay this employee?
Because hourly employees are subject to Department of Labor regulations, their exact hours must be documented for payment. These hours must be considered in combination with regular hours worked in computing overtime and the overtime rate of pay. You may not pay an hourly employee a “flat rate” for working on a project even though both parties may be agreeable to this arrangement; it is a violation of federal law. Please contact the Payroll Office for assistance in specific cases prior to engaging employees to work on special projects or events.
