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 is compensated at one and one-half times their regular hourly wage rate. This compensation is in the form of overtime pay or compensatory time. Overtime will not be permitted without prior authorization of the 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.

Employees may check in up to fifteen (15) minutes before normal starting time and check out up to fifteen (15) minutes after the normal quitting time. Such time shall be construed as applying to the normal working day and shall not be counted for computing overtime pay. In the event the check-out time is later than ten (10) minutes after normal time, the entire extra time at the end of the day shall be counted toward the overtime payment.

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