Board reviews support-staff workload policy on overtime and comp time (G-8461)
Summary
The board heard a reading of policy G-8461 covering support staff timekeeping, overtime and compensatory time under the Fair Labor Standards Act for nonexempt employees; staff noted the policy will be part of a forthcoming procedures manual.
Board members reviewed policy G-8461, "Support Staff Workload, Fair Labor Standards Act, Overtime Compensation," which outlines timekeeping requirements and overtime/compensatory-time rules for nonexempt employees.
The policy requires nonexempt staff to complete individual timecards showing daily hours worked and to record start time, lunch out/in and quit times. Employees may not sign in more than 15 minutes before or out more than 15 minutes after normal shift times without prior supervisor approval. Time records must be verified and signed by the immediate supervisor. The policy states that falsifying time records is prohibited and may result in discipline.
For overtime, the policy provides that nonexempt employees who work more than 40 hours per week shall be awarded compensatory time at 1.5 hours for each overtime hour; in cases of emergency the superintendent will decide whether to pay overtime at time-and-a-half or to grant comp time for later use. Supervisors must approve overtime in advance when possible.
Administrators said the policy will be part of a comprehensive procedures manual the district is developing so staff have a clear place to find timekeeping and overtime procedures.
