How do compressed work weeks impact hourly employees?
Based on the Federal Labor Standards Act, non-exempt staff should maintain the same number of hours worked weekly during the revised schedule as well as when more traditional hours are worked. Remember, over-time pay is required for non-exempt staff work in excess of normal work week hours, up to forty hours a week. Above forty hours a week, time and half pay is required. In a 9/80 program, the pay period is often cut off at noon on Friday to avoid going over 40 hours per week.
