| Overtime Provisions |
| Employees may be required to work overtime. Overtime pay is governed by the FLSA. The FLSA provides tests for exception from the overtime requirements of the Act, hence, the term "exempt" for positions that meet these criteria. Positions that do not qualify for an exemption from the overtime provisions are referred to as "nonexempt". Nonexempt employees will be paid for or granted compensatory time at the rate of one and one-half times their regular hourly rate for all hours in excess of 40 hours per week. (Note: See Handbook of Operating Procedures Overtime Pay: (HOOP), Policy 5.05 and Compensatory Time Off: (HOOP), Policy 5.06 for more detail.) It is imperative that job descriptions for new or revised jobs be reviewed by Human Resources Compensation area for determination of the FLSA status. The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston's standard workweek is a fixed and regularly recurring period of 168 hours during seven consecutive 24-hour periods, commencing at 12:01 a.m. Saturday and ending at 12:00 a.m. Friday. For employees working a non-traditional schedule, this information should be recorded and kept in departmental files. |
