Nonexempt employees are not exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act and are eligible to receive overtime pay or compensatory time for hours worked in excess of 40 hours per week.

Staff who are nonexempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) must record their time worked on a quarterly hour basis and are required to use the electronic time and labor reporting system, paper timesheet, or alternative method as set by the department to record arrival and departure from work for each scheduled workday.

Nonexempt staff requesting paid leave must submit a Paid Time Off form available on the Office of Human Resources forms page and obtain approval from their supervisor prior to taking the leave. If the form is not used, the request needs to be sent via e-mail to their supervisor and the supervisor needs to respond with an approval (or denial). The approval must be forwarded to the department time administrator.

Nonexempt 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.
