Overtime and Flextime

Exempt Employees:

Exempt employees are not eligible for overtime. However, the Council recognizes that exempt employees often work well beyond the usual 40-hour workweek to accomplish their job responsibilities. Exempt employees are expected to work a full 40-hour workweek, but flextime on a one-time basis may be permitted with advance approval of the employee's supervisor. Every effort is made to allow exempt employees a degree of flexibility in their schedules, while ensuring that all job requirements are met.

See Policy 5.02 (Work Schedules) for more information.

Non-Exempt Employees:

It is incumbent upon each non-exempt employee to limit work to no more than 40 hours per defined workweek. Overtime must be approved by your supervisor. In the event that you are approved to work extra hours during any workweek, you will be paid overtime at the rate of 1.5 times your normal rate of pay.

Non-exempt employees must record and report their hours worked to the designated Agency official or Business Manager using the forms or electronic means provided by WVEMS.

See Policy 5.02 (Work Schedules) for more information.
