D. Overtime & Premium Pay

1. Overtime. Payments, if any, for hours worked in excess of 40 hours in a week are governed by ��������Ƶ’s Overtime Regulation and ��������Ƶ’s Compensatory Time Regulation.

If overtime occurs on a temporary or student employee that works in various departments, the last department will be responsible for paying the employee’s overtime, with the exception of work study students. Work study students overtime cannot be charged to the Federal work-study program; therefore, the department that the student works for will be responsible for the overtime cost.

2. Shift Premium Pay. The university provides additional compensation for certain employees whose regular work schedules occur during evening or night hours. A permanent or probationary employee whose regular, recurring work shift occurs between 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. may be entitled to shift premium pay. Temporary employees are not paid shift premium.

3. On Call Pay. Payments, if any, for hours spent “on call” are governed by the applicable On Call & Emergency Callback Regulation.

4. Holiday Premium Pay. If an employee is scheduled to work on a scheduled State holiday, the employee will get additional pay equal to one-half of their regular hourly wage for every hour worked. They will also get time off on another day, unless the day off results in scheduling problems, in which case the time off may be paid as straight time.
