How is overtime paid with multiple appointments?
University employees may hold more than one appointment (i.e., multiple appointments). There is no limit to the number of appointments an employee may hold either simultaneously or consecutively. Appointments can be held, simultaneously, in more than one employee group. Employees can simultaneously hold appointments in both exempt and non exempt job classifications. Generally the overtime and record keeping provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act do not apply to employees working in exempt job classifications. However, overtime and record keeping provisions apply when an employee simultaneously holds appointments in exempt and nonexempt job classifications. The Multiple Appointments Within and Across Employee Groups matrix explains overtime pay requirements for employees with multiple appointments.
