Compensatory Time Off and New Jobs

What is the College's Compensatory Time Off Policy

For non-exempt positions, Department Heads or Supervisors must authorize any extra hours worked beyond the regularly scheduled and budgeted hours. If a non-exempt employee works additional hours in any work week, but does not work over 40 hours, the additional hours must be taken off as compensatory time within the same one or two-week pay period, depending if the employee is paid on a weekly or bi-weekly schedule.

If it is not possible to take the compensatory time off within the same pay period it is earned, the individual should be paid for the additional hours worked within the same pay period. Such hours should be added to the timesheet. If an employee works over 40 hours (actual hours worked -- not including time paid but not worked, e.g. sick, personal, or vacation time), the number of hours over 40 should be reported on the timesheet as overtime hours to ensure appropriate overtime wages are paid.

New Jobs

What happens when a new job is created?

When a new job is created and approved, the Department Head/Chair or Supervisor should follow the procedure listed below:

Prepare a Job Analysis Form for Human Resources review.

Human Resources, with input from the Department Head/Chair or Supervisor, will evaluate the job based on the major responsibilities to determine a provisional salary grade.

After an employee is in the job for six months, Human Resources will request that the employee update the Job Analysis Form. The revised form will be reviewed by the Department Head/Chair or Supervisor and submitted to Human Resources. At that point, the salary grade will be determined.

Please note that the job evaluation process by Human Resources requires at least two weeks.
