B. Notes/Reminders:<br />

All employees are encouraged to take a lunch break; however, during the lunch break, all<br />

employees are ―on-call‖ for emergencies. If in the event an employee is required to work<br />

during their lunch they are not permitted to leave early because the lunch break is<br />

compensated.<br />

Two (2) rest breaks of 15 minutes or less are allowable when time and circumstances<br />

permit; however, employees may not leave early in lieu of rest breaks. The rest breaks<br />

should be uninterrupted and without work tasks.<br />

If attendance is required at a meeting(s) beyond the 40 hours in a work week, the employee<br />

will be paid overtime or given compensatory time.<br />

Lunch breaks and rest breaks are not required by the Fair Labor Standards Act.<br />

See the Administrative Regulations Overtime Procedures for further details.<br />

C. Clerical Personnel:<br />

While any member of the office staff is on break, the office must be covered.<br />

The principal has the option of ―flexing‖ the work hours of office personnel so that<br />

someone is in the office before and after school. The principal defines the work schedule<br />

within the weekly 40 hours.<br />

D. Instructional Assistants<br />

Instructional assistants have no planning period.<br />

II. School-Based Non-Exempt Overtime/Comp Time<br />

A. Payment for work will be made according to the following criteria:<br />

Up to 40 physical work hours = straight time.<br />

Over 40 physical work hours in one (1) work week (Saturday thru Friday) = overtime.<br />

Non-exempt employees who work a 37.5 hour work week will not receive additional pay<br />

until the hours worked exceed 40 hours in a work week.<br />

B. Assistants and associates may work overtime only with prior approval of the principal.<br />

Payment for overtime must come from site-based funds.<br />

C. Compensatory time off will be given according to the following criteria:<br />

Nonexempt employees will receive 1 1/2 hours of paid compensatory time off for each<br />

hour of overtime worked rather than paying a premium rate for the overtime.<br />
