2013 - 2014 Employee Handbook - San Felipe Del Rio CISD

Insignificant time (up to 10 minutes) beyond scheduled working hours may be
disregarded in recording working. (De minimis rule)
Meal periods are non-compensable time if employee is relieved of all duty and
responsibility.
If a non-exempt employee is terminated or the employee resigns, he/she will be
paid for any unused compensatory time at a rate not less than the average rate
received by the employee during the last three years of employment or the final
regular rate of pay received, whichever is higher.
Nonexempt employees working overtime without prior approval will be subject to
disciplinary action as follows
• The first offense will merit a written warning.
• The second offense will merit a one-day suspension without pay.
• The third offense will merit possible termination.
Falsification of records regarding time worked, including overtime, will be
considered good cause for immediate termination. Actual time worked must be
recorded.
Compensatory time records with appropriate documentation and signatures from
the employee and the administrator authorizing the overtime must be submitted
along with the employee’s timesheet to the Payroll Office.
Employees shall record compensatory time on a common form provided by the
District.
When compensatory time is taken time sheets must clearly state “compensatory
time used,” and must be submitted to the payroll office along with appropriate
compensatory time record.
Compensatory time must be used in the duty year that it is earned.
An employee may be required to use compensatory time before using available
paid leave (e.g., sick, personal, vacation).
Use of comp time may be at the employees request with supervisor approval as
work load permits, or at the supervisor’s direction.
Travel Expense Reimbursement
Policy DEE
Before any travel expenses are incurred by an employee, the employee’s supervisor and
appropriate program director must give approval. For approved travel, employees will be
reimbursed for mileage and other travel expenditures according to the current rate
schedule established by the district. Employees must submit receipts, to the extent
possible, to be reimbursed for expenses other than mileage.
