Working Overtime
Non-exempt employees are not allowed to work overtime without PRIOR authorization by management. Managers are responsible for controlling the work hours of non-exempt employees.
Your supervisor will tell you which earning type to use for reporting overtime. You may only use one type, depending on how your department has been set up in Banner. You cannot use both. The default for most departments is "pay."
| Earning Type | Explanation | Who should use this? |
|---|---|---|
| Additional hours worked- Leave | This selection is used to record additional hours worked for leave for non-exempt employees. Entries will be converted to either overtime leave or compensatory leave, depending on the physical hours worked during the week. | Classified Non Exempt Employees - set up for Leave |
| Additional hours worked- Pay | This selection is used to record additional hours worked for pay by non-exempt employees. Hours will be paid at the straight time or overtime rate depending on physical hours worked during the week. Eligible employees must physically work more than 40 hours during the specified work week to earn overtime pay. |
Classified Non Exempt Employees - set up for Pay |
Classified Exempt employees are responsible for recording leave time taken only (i.e., vacation or sick time or compensatory leave earned/taken) and compensatory leave earned via web time entry. Not submitting a Web Timesheet could result in a delay in payment.
- Classified exempt employees must submit a Web Time Sheet for every pay period.
- If no leave was taken and no compensatory leave was earned for a given pay period, classified exempt employees must open the time sheet for that pay period and enter "no leave taken" in the comment section of the time sheet and submit the time sheet for approval.

Compensatory Leave Earned (CLE) - EXEMPT Employees
- ALL EXEMPT University Employees are prohibited from earning compensatory leave with the following exceptions:
- Irrespective of the position held, compensatory leave may be credited when a holiday falls on a scheduled rest day, or is not observed by the employee because all other employees in his or her unit are required to work on the holiday.
- In unusual situations where, at the specific direction of the supervisor, an exempt employee works exceptionally long hours to meet the requirements of a critical or emergency situation, supervisors may credit compensatory leave.
- Compensatory leave earned will be authorized only when it is essential for the effective management of the University. It will not be used to accomplish normal operating duties.
Under no conditions will exempt employees receive time and one-half overtime pay or overtime leave.
- Faculty who are required to report their leave taken through Leave Reports should make every effort to follow the submission schedule.
- Approvers are required to approve faculty leave taken through Leave Reports and should make every effort to follow the submission schedule.
- The pay period will remain open through the date listed on the Banner Self Service Submission Schedule for Faculty Leave Reports.
