There may be times when non-exempt employees will need to work overtime to meet the needs of the job responsibilities. Overtime occurs when a non-exempt employee works more than 40 hours a week. All overtime work hours must be approved in advance by the pastor, principal, supervisor or agency director.

When overtime is needed, the pastor, principal, supervisor or agency director will attempt to give as much notice as possible. However, advance notice may not always be possible. Failure to work overtime when reasonably requested, or unauthorized overtime may result in discipline, up to and including termination.

Following federal and state law, non-exempt employees will be paid at a rate of time and one half their regular hourly rate of pay for hours worked in excess of 40 hours in a workweek. Only actual hours worked count in computing weekly overtime hours. Observed holidays, Holy Days, and employee vacation days, personal paid-time-off, and sick leave days do not count as time worked for computing overtime hours.

Any questions regarding overtime should be directed to the pastor, principal, supervisor or agency director.
