Are departments required to pay premium overtime to nonexempt employees who work more than 40 hours in a week, or do departments have the discretion to provide compensatory time off (CTO)?
For non-represented staff covered by Personnel Policies for Staff members: At the time overtime work is assigned, managers need to discuss the method of compensation prior to authorizing the overtime. Management may offer either payment or CTO, and the employee may select the method of compensation. For represented employees: This may vary depending on the employee’s bargaining unit. Please consult the appropriate union contract for current practice.
