More on the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)

Originally passed by the Federal Government in 1938, FLSA established a national minimum wage and guaranteed time and a half for overtime worked. It also set record keeping requirements.

How is this related to the Time System?

• Using the system, employees enter their start times and hours worked. With this information, overtime (and compensatory time if granted) will be accurately calculated and provided to the employee in a consistent and timely manner.

• This also fulfills the requirement that the College must record the dates and hours worked by all overtime eligible employees.

Responsibilities

Supervisors and employees must follow:

• Fair Labor Standards Act • Washington State Regulations • Collective Bargaining Agreement • Timekeeping Policy and Procedures • Information Technology Appropriate Use Policy

Employees

are responsible for entering their start times and hours worked each work week (work period for law enforcement).

Supervisors

are responsible for reviewing and certifying the start times and hours worked each work week (work period for law enforcement).

Supervisors

will enter start times and hours worked for employees who are unable to do so.

The Time System is not meant to replace communication between employees and supervisors

How is Overtime Calculated?

Employees covered by FLSA must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek .

Work Week = A regularly re-occurring period of 168 hours consisting of 7 consecutive 24 hour periods.

Therefore, we need to define the start and end of a work week.

Examples of work week designations

Regular work weeks: Start at 12:00 AM Sunday and end at 11:59 PM the following Saturday.

Flex Schedules (9/80’s): Start at noon on Friday and end at 11:59 AM on the following Friday.

Work Schedule / Shift Change Form

Reminder:

Like the Leave System, the Time System uses each employee’s specific schedule.

Human Resource Services must be notified in advance of all work schedule / shift changes via this form located at http://www.evergreen.edu/ employment/forms/home.h

Certifying the Work Period

After the beginning of the last shift in the work period, an employee can certify their work.

Hours entered into the Leave and Time Systems must add up to the number of scheduled hours.

Paid hours + Unpaid hours = Scheduled hours Leave Requests Must Be Submitted and Approved in a Timely Manner

QUESTION

What if my Leave or LWOP has not been entered and approved by the time I need to certify my work period?

ANSWER You will not be able to certify your work period.

Therefore:

• You will not be paid during that pay period for any additional compensation including Overtime, Comp Time (if granted), Callback, Shift Premium or Standby.

• If you had LWOP during that work period, you will be overpaid and end up owing the college money. • You will not be able to certify your work period, but you will still get paid your regular compensation.
