SECTION 7.1.20 - FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT COMPLIANCE

Human resources and payroll management practices in the School Division shall ensure records and work schedules comply with Fair Labor Standards Act requirements for employees not exempted by the Act. Overtime compensation for non-exempt employees who work in excess of 40 hours in any work week shall be in the form of one and one-half hours of compensatory time off for each hour worked in excess of 40 hours.
The compensatory time off shall be taken during regular work hours in the month in which it is earned or during the subsequent month. Upon termination of employment with the School Board (other than completing the regular term of employment for the fiscal year), an employee shall be paid for any accumulated compensatory time in accordance with the requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Compensatory time off in lieu of cash overtime compensation shall be an express condition of employment for employees, consistent with the Fair Labor Standards Act and relevant Department of Labor regulations.

However, all school bus drivers, all custodians, all food service workers, all maintenance staff, all teacher assistants, and clerical and technical support staff, unless expressly exempted by the supervising director on an annual basis, shall be paid cash overtime compensation. Overtime compensation shall be one and one half times the equivalent hourly rate for each full hour worked in excess of the 40 hours in any work week.
The Division Superintendent shall implement this policy by an appropriate regulation. Further, the Division Superintendent is expressly authorized to establish flexible scheduling practices which he deems appropriate for minimizing the frequency of non-exempt employees working in excess of 40 hours in any work week.
