An employee working 40 hours or less per week (in California 8 hours or less per day) is NOT eligible for overtime pay. For further information on compensatory time off, call the Office of Human ResourcesPeople and Culture.
Non-exempt Employees
If you are eligible for overtime pay or extra pay, you must maintain a record of the total hours you work each day. These hours must be accurately recorded on your timesheet. Each employee must sign (self-service login acts as an electronic signature for online timesheets) his or her timesheet to verify that the reported hours worked are complete and accurate (and that there is no unrecorded or “off-the-clock” work). Your timesheet must accurately reflect all regular and overtime hours worked, any absences, early or late arrivals, early or late departures and meal breaks. At the end of each pay cycle, you should submit your completed timesheet for verification and approval by your supervisor. When you receive each pay check, please verify immediately that you were paid correctly for all regular and overtime hours worked each workweek.

It is a violation of the Bethel University’s policy for any employee to falsify a time card, or to alter another employee’s time card. It is also a serious violation of Bethel University policy for any employee or manager to instruct another employee to incorrectly or falsely report hours worked or alter another employee’s time card to under- or over-report hours worked. If any manager or employee instructs you to (1) incorrectly or falsely under- or over-report your hours worked, (2) alter another employee’s time records to inaccurately or falsely report that employee’s hours worked, or (3) conceal any falsification of time records or to violate this policy, do not do so. Instead, report it immediately to the Office of Human ResourcesPeople and Culture.
You should not work any hours outside of your scheduled work day unless your supervisor has authorized the unscheduled work in advance. Do not start work early, finish work late, work during a meal break or perform any other extra or overtime work unless you are authorized to do so and that time is recorded on your time card. Employees are prohibited from performing any “off-the-clock” work. “Off-the-clock” work means work you may perform but fail to report on your time card. Any employee who fails to report or inaccurately reports any hours worked will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
If you have questions about deductions from your pay, please contact the Office of Human Resources of People and Culture immediately. If you believe your wages have been subject to any improper deductions or your pay does not accurately reflect all hours worked, you should report your concerns to a supervisor immediately. If a supervisor is unavailable or if you believe it would be inappropriate to contact that person (or if you have not received a prompt and fully acceptable reply within three business days), you should immediately contact the Director of Human Resources Vice President of People and Culture or the Associate Director of Human Resources People Operations at 651.638.6119.
Every report will be fully investigated and corrective action will be taken, up to and including discharge of any employee(s) who violates this policy.
