Flex Time
Flex time refers to a working schedule with flexible starting and ending times. For hourly non-exempt employees flex time must be used during the same week extra hours were worked during a day; for example, an employee worked a regular 8:30 – 4:30 day on Monday, but worked 8:30 – 7:30pm on Tuesday, 3 extra hours, they then chose to work 8:30 – 4:30 Wednesday and Thursday and flex on Friday working 8:30 – 1:30 (less 3 hours). Per Federal FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) regulations, the flex day must be within the same workweek. Flex time should always be approved by the employee supervisor.
Overtime The Federal Labor Standards Act/FLSA requires that employers compensate Hourly Non-exempt employees at a rate of one and one-half times the regular rate for more than forty hours of work per week. Supervisor approval is mandatory for overtime work, more than 40 hours in a week.
NOTE: PTO, Holidays and Jury Duty do not apply to the calculation of overtime.
