FLEX TIME VS. COMP TIME
Flex Time: Must be taken in the same work week in
which the time beyond the schedule was worked. Ex:
Sue works 7.75 hours Mon-Wed, 8.5 hours on Thursday
– you may let her leave 45 minutes early on Friday! No
OT or Comp Time! Does not accrue at time and one half.
Comp Time: If the time worked beyond the schedule
cannot be offered as Flex Time in the same work week,
you must credit it to OT or Comp Time on CATS. Accrues
at time and one half. (Enter actual hours worked under
Comp Time code – CATS will calculate properly.)
APPROVALS – NON-EXEMPT (N/E)
Time worked in excess of 40 hours per work week
must be logged on a timesheet and either
a) Taken as Flex Time in the same work week, or
b) Paid at time and one half, (OT rate) or
c) Credited to Compensatory Time
REGARDLESS
of whether it was approved in advance or not!
CATS entries must be made to reflect the number of
hours worked each day and each week.
