When an employee works more than their regularly scheduled
hours (usually 40) in a week, the extra hours are considered overtime. For
the purposes of overtime, consistent with the provision of the Fair Labor
Standards Act (FLSA), all CSU employees are classified as either exempt or
non-exempt from the FLSA. Exempt employees do not receive overtime
Eligibility
Non-exempt employees must be paid for
all hours worked over 40 in a workweek. The full-time work week for employees
classified as non-exempt is a work week of 40 hours within 7 consecutive
days or 168 consecutive hours. A regular workweek begins on Sunday at
12:01 am and ends on Saturday at 12:00am. A bi-weekly workweek for 9/80
schedule begins at 12:01 pm on Friday of week one and ends at 12:00pm
on Friday of week two. Overtime for non-exempt employees is payable in
cash or as compensating time off (CTO) at time and one-half the employee's
straight time hourly rate of pay. Specific provision regarding the accrual
of CTO for non-exempt employees represented by unions are contained in
the appropriate collective bargaining agreements.
Exempt Employees are not covered by the FLSA provisions for overtime
payment. Exempt employees do not receive overtime, either as cash or
CTO. Managers, supervisors, faculty, and a number of bargaining unit classifications
are "exempt."
