Page 9 of 10 employee requests use of that time, the supervisor shall approve in writing the employee's request or provide the employee with an alternative date on which to use the compensatory time before it expires. Texas State policy further requires that when the supervisor does not approve an employee's 90 -day advance request, the supervisor shall provide in writing the reasons for the denial as well as provide alternate dates when the employee can take compensatory time before it expires. Failure to accept an alternative date may result in loss of state compensatory time upon expiration. Human Resources will notify employees and their department time administrator about any state compensatory time that is about to expire 120 days in advance. NOTE: While FLSA overtime or state compensatory time off is to be taken on a mutually agreeable basis, supervisors have total discretion to vary an employee's work schedule during the university's workweek to avoid accrual of FLSA overtime and state compensatory time. 05.02 Employees Paid From Grants — The provisions of Section 05.01 apply except as follows: Since all FLSA and state compensatory time earned by an employee while appointed on a grant are the responsibility of that grant, grant account managers shall ensure there are no such outstanding liabilities on the last day of the grant. As an employment condition, grant account managers may require an employee to take both FLSA and state compensatory time at the grant manager's discretion. • 06.
