Exempt employees are exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act and are not eligible to receive overtime pay or compensatory time for hours worked in excess of 40 hours per week.
Staff who are exempt under the FLSA are paid on a salary basis for work performed within the work week and do not report hours worked in a pay period.
Exempt staff must obtain approval for and report any hours not worked (exception time) in their standard, biweekly pay period (80 hours based on 1.0 FTE) by initiating an e-mail to their direct supervisor. The supervisor needs to respond with an approval (or denial). The approval must be forwarded to the department time administrator.
Exempt staff must also adhere to all other university and department policies related to time and attendance and must promptly report any discrepancies between time reported and time paid to their supervisor.
