27. Company’s policy regarding uncompensated overtime.

Salaried employees with exempt status as defined under the Fair Labor Standards Act

(FLSA) may be required to work extra hours because others depend upon them, because they want to succeed at their job, or because they want to gain a bonus or promotion. The length of workdays varies across professional disciplines. Pressing deadlines, for example, can be the cause of extended hours across several professional categories. The FLSA and its implementing regulations do not specifically prohibit employers from requiring exempt employees to work a particular schedule or to track the hours they work. The FLSA and its implementing regulations do not specifically prohibit employers from requiring exempt employees to have unequal weekday work hours according to a published schedule or to work hours in addition to the target of a forty (40) hour workweek.

In the event that a salaried employee is classified as non-exempt and is entitled to overtime, the following rules apply to the normal employee hours and to their use of overtime:

a. Overtime by non-exempt employees must be approved by management before being performed. This approval shall be in writing or email by the employee’s direct supervisor in order to have a record of hours requiring overtime payment.

b. Non-exempt employees shall assure that they do not exceed the normal workday hours and are not authorized to submit for overtime pay if the expended hours have not been approved.

Management may compensate an employee for time worked in excess of 40 hours per workweek through either monetary compensation or through time excused from normal work hours (either to be determined at the decision of management).
