In determining total overtime hours worked, hours of leave time with pay (personal and major medical leave), vacation, jury duty and/or hours taken on approved College paid holidays during the workweek are not counted as time worked in computing overtime pay. For example, during the week of New Year’s, an employee works the following schedule:

Monday Tuesday

8 hours 8 hours 8 hours 8 hours 6 hours

Wednesday Thursday

8 hours - New Year’s Day - Off with pay

Friday Saturday

38 hours or

(46)

Ordinarily the six (6) hours on Saturday would constitute overtime pay but since the total hours worked included the hours of a holiday off with pay, no overtime is counted. 3.

In the event the employee is required to report for jury duty, no pay will be withheld; however, no overtime will be counted unless in excess of time absent for jury duty. 8. Only those hours over forty (40) per week will be considered overtime. All overtime work will merit time and a half for pay purposes.
