11.01 Authorization

Overtime shall be authorized by the Department Head before it is worked.

11.02 Rates and Calculation

A full-time employee required to work overtime shall be paid at:

(a) time and one-half (1½) for the first two (2) hours; and

(a) straight time for hours up to the scheduled daily hours for said full-time employee;

(b) time and one-half (1½) for the first two (2) hours in excess of (a); and

(c) double time for all hours in excess of (b).

11.04 Notwithstanding Clauses 11.02 and 11.03, where an employee is required to work overtime on both of his/her regular consecutive days of rest, s/he shall be paid at double time for all hours worked on the second (2nd) day of rest.

11.05 Where an employee is required to work overtime, s/he shall receive a minimum compensation of one (1) hour at the applicable overtime rate.

11.06 Overtime pay shall be:

(a) calculated to the nearest one-quarter (¼) of an hour, subject to Clause 11.05;

11.07 Compensating Time Off

Notwithstanding Clause 11.06 (c), a regular employee may, subject to the agreement of his/her Department Head, elect to take compensatory time off in lieu of overtime pay. Such compensatory time off shall be calculated in the same manner as overtime pay. In the event that any compensatory time off cannot be taken at a time mutually agreeable to the employee and his/her Department Head within a period of six (6) months immediately following the month in which the overtime occurred, the employee shall, instead, receive the overtime pay in the month immediately following the expiration of the six (6) month period.

To this end, the University may instruct the employee to leave before the usual quitting time of his/her regular shift and/or to report after the usual starting time of his/her next regular shift. Where such instruction is given, the employee's pay shall not be docked, nor shall s/he be required to make up, for such regular hours not worked. Where such instruction is not given for whatever reason, the employee shall be paid at double time for all hours worked on his/her next regular shift which fall within the eight (8) consecutive clear hours.

11.11 To an employee to whom Clause 9.03 applies, this Article shall apply only after s/he has completed the work hours of the relevant modified work day.
