Policy

All non-faculty non-exempt employees are required to submit a bi-weekly attendance sheet showing actual hours worked and lunch period taken (unpaid). All (exempt) employees shall submit reports of vacation, sick days, etc., on a monthly reporting sheet. Falsification of attendance sheets or payroll sheets constitutes grounds for immediate termination of employment.

It is the non-exempt employee’s responsibility to record on a daily basis the time they begin work, lunch period and the time they stop working. Non-exempt employees’ record of time taken for vacation, personal, sick, jury duty, funeral leave, etc. is recorded on the bi-weekly attendance sheet, which is signed by the Department Head, input by an employee designated by the Dean/Department Head, and submitted to the Office of Human Resources. On the last working day of the covered period, the employee must submit to their manager or designated supervisor a signed bi-weekly attendance sheet or hourly payroll sheet.

Overtime rates and hours for union members are covered in the applicable CBA. Overtime for exempt non-union members is not applicable.

Exempt employees’ record of time taken for vacation, personal, sick, jury duty, bereavement, etc. is recorded on the Monthly Administrators Attendance Report which is signed by the Department Head, input by an employee designated by the Dean/Department Head, and submitted to the Office of Human Resources.

Student and hourly employees are paid on an hourly basis and must submit their hours worked on-line. The hours must be approved by the authorized department representative by the due date.

Pay schedules with the listed due dates are available in the Office of Human Resources or on-line under the Payroll tab.
