Compensatory Time: means an amount of time, or portion thereof, that an employee receives in lieu of payment for overtime and which is equal to overtime, i.e., an hour of overtime equals one and one-half hours of compensatory time.
Eligible employee: means a member of the professional support staff whose position qualifies for overtime compensation as required by the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended.
FLSA: means the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended, and its regulations.
Overtime: means an amount of time, or portion thereof, that an employee works and that exceeds the work week or work period as identified in Board Policy. On March 31, 2003, the Chancellor's Cabinet provided a confirmation to the DCCCD Overtime policy. This confirmation means that an individual eligible for overtime can only be granted time and a half pay when he/she has physically worked a full 37.5 or 40-hour week. The calculation for overtime pay cannot include hours counted as holidays, vacation or other nonworked time as time served toward overtime. As this is the current policy, it remains in effect and all overtime/compensatory time should follow the parameters set out by this policy.
Exempt/Non-exempt: District Human Resources, within guidelines set out in federal regulations, shall determine the classification of positions or employees as "exempt" or "nonexempt" for purposes of compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Generally, administrative, faculty, professional and supervisory personnel are considered "exempt" under FLSA. Note: In accordance with revised Department of Labor guidelines, effective Aug. 23, 2004, all job titles in Ranges 1 through 5 on the PSS-General schedule have been classified as "non-exempt."
