Common use of Workday and Overtime Clause in Contracts

Workday and Overtime. A. The employees’ salary schedule is based on a forty (40) hour work week and will be prorated for employees who are assigned to work less than 40 hours per week. Employees returning to District employment from the prior school year will be given notice annually of their anticipated number of days of work, hours per day, and daily schedule, including start and stop times. A work week shall be defined as the period between Monday and Sunday of each week. Flexible scheduling may be accommodated based on agreement between supervisor and employee. B. All employees shall be allowed a 30-minute, duty-free lunch period within a working day of five (5) hours or more, for which lunch period the employee shall not be paid. The employee is not required to remain at his/her workstation during the duty-free lunch period. If an employee is required by his/her supervisor to work the employee’s scheduled 30- minute duty-free lunch period, the employee’s supervisor shall designate a lunch period of equivalent duration later that work day. Each employee shall be allowed a fifteen (15) minute rest period during each continuous four (4) hours of work. C. Required overtime shall be compensated at one and one-half (1 1/2) times the employee’s regular rate of pay, and will be paid for hours worked beyond 40 hours per week. This does not include time paid for holidays, sick leave, or any other paid time when the employee does not work. Employees must obtain approval from their supervisors prior to working overtime. Compensatory time in lieu of overtime pay may be granted upon mutual agreement between the employee and the supervisor.
