It is the policy of Bethel University that overtime is kept to a minimum, consistent with the operational requirements of the institution and your department. Overtime must be scheduled and approved in advance by your supervisor.
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires an employer to pay non-exempt workers at least one and one-half times their regular rates of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 in one week (defined as Sunday to Saturday). California State law requires overtime rate for all hours worked in excess of 8 hours in one day. All hours worked and holiday and personal leave taken count towards overtime pay. All other leave taken such as vacation, sick, etc. does not count towards overtime pay.
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 Resources.
