For Staff

Skip Navigation Text.


This page contains information specifically related to staff employees. If you are an hourly staff employee‚ casual worker‚ special consultant‚ or retired annuitant‚ please see Intermittent Staff.

Attendance Reporting

Staff members are required to submit an attendance summary whenever earned accruals (vacation‚ sick leave) are used‚ or when it is necessary to report time off for other available leave benefits such as jury duty‚ funeral leave‚ etc.

Please see Leave Accruals for more information on earned accruals‚ or refer to your respective Collective Bargaining Agreement for detailed information on other available leave benefits.

Attendance summaries are due in the Payroll Office by the fifth working day following the close of a pay period.

Overtime

Overtime is defined as time worked in excess of 40 hours per week (pro-rated for part-time employees). Only non-exempt employees‚ by FLSA standards‚ are eligible for overtime‚ which is either paid out or reported as compensating time off (CTO). This determination is at the discretion of the appropriate administrator. Overtime payments are issued by the 10th of the month following the period in which overtime was worked.

Shift Differential

Employees in certain job classifications may be eligible for an hourly amount (shift differential) in addition to their regular pay when they work the evening or night shifts. Shift differentials are normally exclusive of overtime. To determine whether or not your classification entitles you to shift differentials‚ as well as the amount‚ please see your Collective Bargaining Agreement. Shift differential payments are issued by the 10th of the month following the period in which shift was worked.
