• All hours worked in excess of 40 hours in one workweek will be treated as
overtime. A work week begins on Sunday at 12:01 a.m. and ends on
Saturday at midnight.

• Compensation for hours in excess of 40 for the workweek shall be paid at a
rate one and one-half times the employee's regular rate of pay.

Exempt employees may have to work hours beyond their normal schedules as work
demands require. No overtime compensation will be paid to exempt employees.

REDUCED SALARY FOR EXEMPT EMPLOYEES

For purposes of this salary pay policy, a week is Monday 12:01 a.m. through Sunday
midnight. A salaried exempt employee will receive his or her full salary for any week in
which the employee does any work, subject to the following rules:

• An employee's salary may be reduced for complete days of absence due to
sick leave, vacations, and personal leave (where the leave or vacation
replaces the employee’s salary), before sick leave and vacation benefits
accrue or after they are exhausted, and incomplete initial and final weeks of
work; and
• An employee's salary will not be reduced due to partial weeks of work due to
service as a juror, witness, or in the military, or for lack of work.
This salary pay policy is intended to comply with the salary pay requirements of the
Fair Labor Standards Act and shall be construed in accordance with that Act.
Employees are encouraged to direct any questions concerning their salary pay to the
Payroll Department or Human Resources so that any inadvertent error can be
corrected.
