412.2 - CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEE WAGE AND OVERTIME COMPENSATION

Each non-exempt employee compensated on an hour-by-hour basis, whether full-or part-time, permanent or temporary, will be paid no less than the prevailing minimum wage.  Whenever a non-exempt employee must work more than forty hours in a given work week, the employee will be compensated at one and one-half times their regular hourly wage rate.  This compensation will be in the form of overtime pay or compensatory time.  Overtime will not be permitted without prior authorization of the principal or superintendent.

Each non-exempt employee paid on an hour-by-hour basis must complete, sign, and turn in a daily time record showing the actual number of hours worked.  Failure of the employee to maintain, or falsification of, a daily time record will be grounds for disciplinary action.

It is the responsibility of the board secretary to maintain wage records.

The requirements stated in the Master Contract/Handbook between employees in that certified collective bargaining unit and the board regarding such employees will be consulted along with policy.

NOTE:  Federal law requires compensation at time and one-half the regular rate for work over 40 hours per week, whether in monetary form or compensatory time.
