4133 Overtime and Supplementary Services


The administration shall determine which school district employees are subject to the minimum wage and overtime requirements of federal law. These nonexempt employees shall be paid overtime at the rate of one and one-half times the regular rate of pay for hours worked in excess of 40 in any work week.

Alternatively, in lieu of overtime compensation, nonexempt employees may receive compensatory time off at a rate not less than one and one-half hours for each hour of employment for which overtime compensation is required.

All overtime will be paid as compensatory time unless otherwise determined by the principal or supervisor in advance.

An employee shall be permitted to use compensatory time within a reasonable period of time after making a request to his supervisor. Such requests shall be granted if the use of the compensatory time does not unduly disrupt the operations of the school district.

A nonexempt employee may accrue no more than 81 hours of compensatory time which equates to 54 hours of overtime.

All overtime work shall require the advance approval of the employee's principal and/or other immediate supervisor. An effort shall be made whenever possible not to schedule nonexempt employees for more than 40 hours per week.

All hours worked shall be accurately recorded in the manner required by the employee's supervisor.
