As a general guideline, overtime is paid when
the employee has worked in excess of their normal hours scheduled
in the workweek. Titles within the CWA, IFPTE, PBA and FOP are part
of a compensation plan which designates eligibility for overtime
and compensatory time. Normally scheduled overtime must be approved,
in advance, by the supervisor. Detailed information regarding overtime
and exceptions to this general overview may be obtained from the
applicable union contract, employee handbook, or by contacting Human
Resources directly.

Employees serving in job titles assigned specific workweek limits
of 35 or 40 hours are entitled to be compensated for hours worked
in excess of their normal workweek. This compensation may be cash
at one and one-half times the regular hourly rate or compensatory
time at one and on-half times the hours worked.
- NE (Non-Exempt) Workweek: Employees who work
hours in excess of 35 but not more than 40 receive no cash compensation.
Employees are eligible to receive compensatory time earned hour
for hour. For hours worked in excess of 40, cash compensation
at one and one-half times the regular hourly rate or compensatory
time at one and one-half times the hours worked will be paid.
- NL (No Limit) Workweek: Employees who
work in excess of 35 hours are not entitled to cash compensation.
