| Fair
Labor Standards Act. The federal Fair Labor Standards
Act (FLSA) requires that UTMB maintain accurate time and leave
records for all non-exempt employees. Under the provisions of
the FLSA, non-exempt employees will be paid for overtime worked
at a rate of one and a half times their hourly rate for “productive
hours worked.”
Classified non-exempt employees are paid overtime for any hours
worked (does not include leave time) beyond 40 hours in a specific
workweek. All UTMB non-exempt academic employees are 40-hour cycle
employees. Hospital non-exempt clinical employees are 8/80-hour
cycle employees. Overtime payment calculations are different for
each cycle.
Classified exempt employees may be compensated with compensatory
time off at a mutually convenient time for both the employer and
the employee within one year from the date it is earned. Classified
exempt employees may be paid overtime or straight-time if the
arrangement is approved in advance of working the time. This type
of arrangement must be approved by the appropriate UTMB Vice President
or Dean.
Administrative and Professional (A&P) employees are not eligible
for overtime or compensatory time. A&P employees who are required
to work on an official UTMB holiday may receive a day off on an
other date within the fiscal year.
Your supervisor must specifically approve overtime and compensatory
time, before it is worked. For detailed information regarding
overtime contact your Human Resources Department. See UTMB IHOP
Policies 3.4.8, Compensatory Time, and 3.4.10, Overtime, at the
UTMB web site http://www.utmb.edu/policy/ihop/
Exempt

and floating holiday balances. See the UTMB IHOP policies 3.9.8,
Sick Leave, and 3.9.9, Vacation, at the UTMB web site http://www.utmb.edu/policy/ihop/
