When this occurs, the employee will record the paid time in excess of forty hours as FLSA overtime or state • compensatory time as appropriate. FLSA overtime or state compensatory time work is only permitted when authorized by the supervisor, not on a voluntary basis. Supervisors may take disciplinary action up to and including dismissal if a classified /non- exempt employee fails to get the supervisor's prior approval for FLSA overtime or state compensatory time work, except in emergency or on -call situations. If a classified /non- exempt employee works in an emergency or on -call situation, the employee should report it to the supervisor the next working day. Supervisors will only grant that authorization in extreme situations. The university will compensate a classified /non- exempt employee for all hours worked in excess of the standard 40 -hour week as follows: a.

If taking FLSA overtime off would disrupt normal operations, the university may pay the employee in cash. A department may submit a request to Human Resources to pay cash for some or all accrued FLSA overtime at • any time. The account manager should ensure that overtime payments are adequately budgeted in the appropriate commitment item (670190) before payment. 2) Employees may carry an FLSA overtime balance up to but not beyond one hundred hours. Once an employee has accrued one hundred hours, the employee must receive all additional FLSA overtime in cash at the employee's regular rate in the pay period immediately following that in which it was earned. The payroll system will generate this payment automatically, without requiring an overtime payment form. 3) When an employee is paid cash for FLSA overtime, the amount is calculated by multiplying 1.5 hours for each hour worked over forty during the week by the employee's regular hourly pay rate. Subject to the above conditions, cash payment for overtime hours is granted at the discretion of the university. 4) In accordance with the Texas Government Code, the university may only compensate the employee at the time and one -half FLSA overtime rate for hours actually worked in excess of forty. 5) Classified /Non- exempt student employees are paid hourly for all hours • worked.
