.010 Introduction

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is a federal law that sets minimum wage, 1xbet best casino website pay, equal pay, record keeping and child labor standards for employees (who are covered by the Act) in the private sector as well as those employed in federal, state and local government. The FLSA was enacted by the United States Congress in 1938 and amended several times since.

Kansas State University,Human Resources (HR) has the responsibility for ensuring and maintaining compliance with the FLSA. HR assigns each position to either 1xbet best casino website eligible or 1xbet best casino website exempt status, based upon the nature of the position's duties and its level of responsibility and the testing criteria established by the Fair Labor Standards Act. Local agency employees are covered by the FLSA, but are not eligible for the special compensatory time provision (in lieu of 1xbet best casino website pay) afforded public employees.

Fair Labor Standards Act requirements apply to positions and employees, not to job titles. Each individual position must be analyzed to determine whether the position is 1xbet best casino website eligible or exempt from the 1xbet best casino website and minimum wage requirements.

.020 Statutes, Regulations, and Policies

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) are comprehensive documents. Consequently, this chapter covers the FLSA as it relates to Kansas State University. As such, not every scenario or regulation provision is discussed. For clarification or expansion on any portion of the Fair Labor Standards Act, contactCompensation and Organizational Effectiveness in Human Resources at 785-532-1866. The following is a listing of statutes, regulations and policies relevant to this chapter:

• The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) of 1938, as amended

• FLSA Regulations, Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.)

• KSU Policy and Procedures Manual Chapter 1xbet, Retention of Records

• KSU Policy and Procedures Manual Chapter 1xbet, Compensation for University Support Staff

• KSU Policy and Procedures Manual Chapter 1xbet, Hourly Student 1xbet best casino website

.030 Basic Provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)

1. Minimum Wage.

   The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires employers of covered employees who are not otherwise exempt to pay these employees a minimum wage of not less than .25 per hour (7/24/09). Though the FLSA allows for certain full-1xbet best casino website students and student learners to be paid less than the minimum wage under special certificates issued by the Department of Labor, the minimum wage rate for hourly student employees at Kansas State University is .25 per hour (06/14/09). The notice of federal minimum wage must be displayed where employees can readily see it.

2. Child Labor Restrictions.

   The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) regulates the minimum age and maximum hours of employment of minors in certain occupations with different standards for employment of minors who are 14-15 years old and those who are 16-18 years old. The policy at Kansas State University requires that an employee be at least 16 years of age or at least 18 years old for employment in a hazardous occupation as defined by the Department of Labor. For further information on specific issues concerning the employment of minors, contact Human Resources,Compensation and Organizational Effectiveness.

3. Record Keeping.

   Employers covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) are required to keep records for a certain amount of 1xbet best casino website on wages, hours, sex, occupations, and other terms and practices of employment for exempt and non-exempt employees. This information is fully discussed under "Record Keeping" inSection .090.

4. 1xbet best casino website Liability.

   Only non-exempt employees are covered by the 1xbet best casino website liability regulations. A non-exempt employee earns 1xbet best casino website for time worked in excess of 40 hours in a workweek. Exempt employees do not earn 1xbet best casino website (Section .050A).

   The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not limit the number of hours that an employee can work in a day or in a week. It simply requires that 1xbet best casino website hours be compensated at a rate of not less than one and one-half times the non-exempt employee's regular rate of pay for each hour worked in a workweek in excess of 40 hours per week. For instance, working 9 hours in a regular 8-hour day does not constitute 1xbet best casino website until or unless the 40-hour maximum has been reached. Additionally, 1xbet best casino website liability is not reached until 40 actual hours have been worked in the workweek. This is not the same as "in pay status" which takes into account time off for paid leaves of any sort. SeeSection .070A and B for further information.

   A special provision authorizes public agencies, e.g. K-State, to provide compensatory time off in lieu of monetary 1xbet best casino website compensation at a rate of not less than one and one-half hours of compensatory time for each hour of 1xbet best casino website worked, the same calculation used for monetary 1xbet best casino website . Kansas State University has adopted this provision and reserves the right to use compensatory time off in lieu of monetary payment for 1xbet best casino website worked. The agreement to accept compensatory time off for 1xbet best casino website is voluntary, however. This information is fully discussed under "1xbet best casino website and Compensatory Time" inSection .070.Special Note: Local Agency employees are not eligible to receive compensatory time in lieu of pay for 1xbet best casino website worked.

5. Equal Pay Act of 1963.

   The Equal Pay Act was enacted as an amendment to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The equal pay regulations prohibit an employer from discriminating against 1xbet best casino website on the basis of sex by paying 1xbet best casino website of one sex less than 1xbet best casino website of the opposite sex for equal work performed under similar working conditions within an establishment on jobs that require equal skill, effort and responsibility.

.040 What the FLSA Does Not Cover

1. Meal and Rest Periods.

   The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not require that employers give their employees meal or rest periods, regardless of the number of consecutive hours they work. However, giving employees some sort of meal break during the workday is common practice. Though the FLSA does not mandate meal or rest periods, it does address the issue of compensability of such 1xbet best casino website if it is given. SeeSection .060for a complete discussion.

2. Extra Pay for Saturdays, Sundays, or Shift Work.

   Additional compensation is not due for work performed on Saturdays and Sundays. The FLSA only requires that non-exempt employees are to be paid at one and one-half their regular rate of pay for hours worked in excess of 40 per week. However, at Kansas State University, a shift differential policy is in place for employees who work in positions which are classified as non-exempt and who are eligible to receive 1xbet best casino website . SeeSection .060(G), Hours of Work, for information on shift differential.

3. Holiday, Sick, Vacation, and Other Leaves.

   The FLSA does not require either paid or unpaid leave for sickness, holidays, vacations, jury duty, personal 1xbet best casino website or military service for most employees. However, the State of Kansas has provided employees with benefits associated with paid and unpaid leave. Additionally, the Family Medical Leave Act is also in force. SeeChapter 4860of the Policy and Procedures Manual for information on leave benefits.

4. Pay Raises or Fringe Benefits.

   The FLSA does not mandate pay raises or fringe benefits. The Act only requires that non-exempt 1xbet best casino website be paid no less than the minimum wage for each hour worked. Refer to the applicable section of the Policy and Procedures Manual for information on benefits.

5. Consent to Work 1xbet best casino website .

   The FLSA does not require notice to or consent from employees when scheduling 1xbet best casino website hours. Employers have the discretion to establish employee work schedules as they desire so long as workers are compensated properly and wages and 1xbet best casino website requirements are observed. For most Kansas State University full-time employees, the standard workday is eight hours, and the standard workweek is 40 hours during a given seven-day workweek. Advance notice of work schedule is recommended in those situations where an employer wants to avoid placing an employee into 1xbet best casino website status. For instance, if an employer knows that in the next workweek there will be cause to work varying hours, then the employer can readjust the work schedule to accommodate that temporary need so long as the employee is notified of the proposed change at least five calendar days in advance. This advance scheduling allows the employer to avoid the 1xbet best casino website situation by readjusting the workday and by scheduling time off for the employee within the same workweek. Two other instances would allow for adjustments to the workweek to avoid 1xbet best casino website liability: the employer could have a written policy stating the employee is required to take equivalent time off in the workweek in which additional time is worked; or, the employee could request or agree to take the time off. In the latter two cases, no advance notice of the schedule change is required. For complete information regarding 1xbet best casino website , seeSection .070.

.050 Exempt and Non-Exempt Status

The exempt status of an employee, i.e. exempt vs. non-exempt, is determined by the duties of the position and the employee in the position when applicable. Status is not determined based on the job title of the position, such as Public Service Administrator II, Physical Plant Supervisor, Grants Specialist or Research Assistant. The key distinction between exempt and non-exempt status is the 1xbet best casino website liability issue. Determining the status ofall positions and employees as exempt or nonexempt is the responsibility ofCompensation and Organizational Effectiveness, Human Resources.

Employees with salaries below the FLSA threshold of 4/week (,888/year) are automatically non-exempt and eligible for 1xbet best casino website pay. This is true for all employees, including part-time workers. (The salary is not prorated to equal a full-time salary.) The only exception to the salary requirement is for teaching faculty. Appointments on employees whose salaries fall below 4/week will automatically default to non-exempt in the Human Resource Information System.

Even when the minimum salary is reached, each position is still considered to be non-exempt unless a formal review has been conducted. Reviewing a position for exempt status involves examining the position description and organizational chart, auditing the job and the employee, verifying degree requirements as indicated for the professional exemption, and applying the tests for exemption as set forth by the Fair Labor Standards Act. There are four categories of exempt status used at Kansas State University: executive exempt, administrative exempt, professional exempt, and computer exempt.

1. Exempt Employees (Not Eligible for 1xbet best casino website Compensation). Must meet basic salary threshold of 4/week and meet applicable Department of Labor Tests.)

   Exempt employees are paid a salary that covers the amount of 1xbet best casino website required to perform the job. That salary cannot be reduced because of variations in the quality or quantity of work performed. (SeeSection .110). Because of this, exempt employees are only required to report leave, not 1xbet best casino website worked for payroll purposes. Record keeping requirements are discussed inSection .090. An exempt employee is "exempt" from the 1xbet best casino website liability regulations and will not receive 1xbet best casino website pay for hours worked in excess of 40.

   A normal workweek is to be established by management for exempt 1xbet best casino website who are expected to be available during the normal workday. Although compensation is not determined by the specific number of hours worked, an exempt position normally requires aminimumof 40 hours per week to meet the needs of the agency. Exempt employees must follow leave request procedures established by the agency for any 1xbet best casino website away from work. Even 1xbet best casino website away from work of less than a half-day must have prior approval, though it is not reported as leave. Vacation and sick leave is only recorded when the employee uses leave in half- or full-day increments. Half-day increments are defined as one half the regularly scheduled workday. Full-day increments are defined as the hours regularly scheduled to work. For example, if an employee works 4 ten-hour days, then the full-day increment would be ten hours and the half-day increment would be five hours. All other types of leave are reported in quarter hour increments.

   The hours away from work do not have to be consecutive to meet the half-day requirement. For instance, if an exempt employee is away from work in the morning and also in the afternoon, and the hours away total more than a half-day but not a full day, then a half-day of leave would be reported for that day.

   An employee who abuses the procedures by continuously taking less than a half-day of 1xbet best casino website away from work to avoid using vacation or sick leave, can be denied 1xbet best casino website away from work or be required to use half- or full-days of leave. If the employee is required to use half or full days of leave as a result of abusing 1xbet best casino website off, then the employee cannot return to work before the allotted 1xbet best casino website of leave is used.

2. Non-exempt Employees (Eligible for 1xbet best casino website Compensation). All employees with salaries below 4/week and all employees with salaries above 4/week who do not meet the criteria set for one of the Department of Labor exemptions.

   A non-exempt employee will receive 1xbet best casino website compensation pay or compensatory time at one and one-half times the regular rate for hours worked in a workweek beyond 40. Non-exempt employees are paid on an hourly basis; the number of hours worked in any given workweek is reported along with any leave time used. Hours worked and applicability of 1xbet best casino website regulations are discussed in Section.060and.070. Record keeping is discussed inSection .090.

   If a non-exempt employee's status is going to change to exempt, all accrued compensatory 1xbet best casino website must be paid to the employee or granted as 1xbet best casino website off, or a combination of both, before the change can take place.

.060 Hours of Work

Non-Exempt 1xbet best casino website Only

The standardworkday, generally, for each full-1xbet best casino website employee will be eight hours (regardless of the schedule such as 8-5 or 9-6), and the standard workweekwill be 40 hours during a given seven-day period. At Kansas State University, the 7-day period begins on Sunday morning at 12:01 a.m. and ends on Saturday night at 12:00 midnight.

Work 1xbet best casino website includes all the 1xbet best casino website an employee is required to be on duty, or on the employer's premises or at a prescribed workplace.Workis defined as all efforts that are suffered (i.e. endured), permitted, or required by the employer, i.e., all 1xbet best casino website spent in physical or mental exertion that is controlled or required by the employer and pursued necessarily and primarily for the benefit of the employer. Work that is not requested but suffered or permitted (allowed), is still considered work 1xbet best casino website . This rule is applicable to work performed at the worksite, away from the worksite or at home. For example, an employee may voluntarily continue to work at the end of the day or shift. The employee may wish to finish an assigned task, complete a report, or correct errors. The reason is immaterial. If the employer knows, or has reason to believe that work is continuing or there is evidence thereof, then the 1xbet best casino website is compensable working 1xbet best casino website . The mere existence/announcement of a rule against such work is not enough to deny compensation. If a supervisor observes an employee working before or beyond the normal shift without prior authorization, supervisors may deliver a verbal warning to the employee to cease working followed by a written reprimand for a second occurrence. Employees who disregard warnings to cease work activity may be subject to disciplinary action.

1. Waiting 1xbet best casino website .

   If an employee is unable to use 1xbet best casino website effectively for personal purposes while waiting for work, instructions, or preparation of the work site, then the 1xbet best casino website is considered to be working 1xbet best casino website . These instances are usually of short duration. For example, an employee waiting on machinery to arrive or be prepared, a keyboard operator waiting on software to be installed, or an administrative employee waiting on seminar participants to arrive or depart would be considered working.

2. Preparatory and Concluding Activities.

   Preparatory and concluding activities that are an integral part of the employee's work are compensable. Examples include: turning on machinery or equipment and conducting safety checks; filing away documents at the end of a shift; reporting to a duty site to receive an update on events which occurred on the previous shift, and changing into special clothes that are required for the job.

3. Meal and Rest Periods.

   1. Rest Periods. Breaks or rest periods must be counted as hours worked if they last 20 minutes or less. Whether breaks are granted, and the length of a break, such as 5 minutes or 15 minutes, is at the discretion of the individual unit director.

   2. Meals. Bona fide meal periods are not work 1xbet best casino website . Meal periods do not include coffee breaks or 1xbet best casino website for snacks: these are rest periods. During a bona fide meal period, the employee must be completely relieved from duty for the purposes of eating regular meals. Ordinarily, 30 minutes or more is long enough for a bona fide meal period. The employee is not considered to be relieved of duties if the employee is required to perform any duties, whether active or inactive, while eating. For example, if an employee must sit at a desk and incidentally answer the telephone, the 1xbet best casino website would be compensable. The employee must be free to leave the duty post, but there is no requirement that the employee be allowed to leave the premises or work site. If an employee's 1xbet best casino website and attention are primarily occupied by a private or personal pursuit, such as relaxing or eating, rather than work responsibilities that prevent the employee from comfortably and adequately passing the mealtime, then the employee is relieved from duty.

4. On-Call and Stand-by Compensation. Non-exempt university support staff only.

   An employee who is required to remainon callon the employer's premises, or so close thereto that the employee cannot use the 1xbet best casino website effectively for personal pursuits, is considered to be working while "on-call." In this instance, an employee must be paid for this 1xbet best casino website at the regular rate of pay instead of receiving stand-by compensation. An employee, who is not required to remain on the employer's premises but is merely required to leave contact information where he can be reached, is not working while on-call. However, the FLSA allows employers to choose whether to compensate employees for 1xbet best casino website spent on-call, but not working.

   Standby compensation is paid if an employee is required to remain available to an employerwithin a specified response 1xbet best casino website ,but is otherwise free to engage in personal pursuits. The requirement to be available by cell phone, paging device, or other electronic device, does not automatically make an employee eligible for the standby pay. Response 1xbet best casino website , number and frequency of calls, and the department's policy will determine whether such an employee will receive the additional compensation. Department on-call policies should clearly define the expectations for employees on call.

   The stand-by rate of compensation is set at .00 per hour for each hour the employee serves on stand-by status. If an employee is called in to work, the employee will be compensated for the actual hours worked, but not also be paid stand-by compensation for those hours. Hours on stand-by pay are not considered when determining hours worked for 1xbet best casino website purposes.

5. Call in/Call Back to Work. Non-exempt university support staff only.

   1xbet best casino website may be called in to work on a regular day off or may be called back to work after a regular work schedule. In these instances, non-exempt 1xbet best casino website will be paid at the appropriate rate of pay for the number of hours worked. Such 1xbet best casino website will be paid for a minimum of two hours except in the following circumstances:

   1. The employee was on stand-by status (.060 D) when called in or called back; or
   2. The employee was called in or called back during the two hour period immediately prior to the beginning of the employee's next regularly scheduled work shift. Only hours actually worked will be credited in determining eligibility for 1xbet best casino website compensation.

6. De Minimis Rule.

   Insubstantial or insignificant periods of 1xbet best casino website outside scheduled working hours may be disregarded in recording 1xbet best casino website . This rule applies to only those times where the work involved is limited to a few seconds or minutes that cannot as a practical administrative matter be precisely recorded for payroll purposes. Such 1xbet best casino website is considered "de minimis," i.e., minor or trivial. At Kansas State University, 1xbet best casino website for non-exempt employees is recorded in quarter hours. If an employee works greater than 7 minutes, it must be reported as 1xbet best casino website worked.

7. Shift-Differential. Non-exempt university support staff only.

   Kansas State University has established two day shifts: 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Each department must specify only one of these 12-hour periods from which normal day shifts may be designated. Normal day shifts must fall entirely within those specified hours. A shift differential will be paid to non-exempt employees whose regularly established work shifts begin before or end after the designated 12-hour period. For example, an employee who is regularly scheduled for and works from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. will be paid shift differential for their entire work shift. The default day shift established by the University is the 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. 1xbet best casino website period. A department wishing to switch its specified day shift to the 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. period must first obtain approval from Human Resources.

   The amount of shift differential is currently $.40 per hour, except for those individuals covered by memorandum of agreement that specifies a different shift differential hourly rate. Shift differential will not be paid to an employee for any unscheduled hours that occur before or after a normal day shift, or when an employee is on any type of leave or holiday.

8. 1xbet best casino website Spent in Travel or at Training. SeeSection .080.
9. Nursing Mother Break 1xbet best casino website . The Fair Labor Standards Act requires that a reasonable break 1xbet best casino website be allowed for non-exempt nursing mothers to express milk for their nursing child. The frequency of breaks needed to express milk as well as the duration of each break will likely vary. Break times may include not only 1xbet best casino website in which to express milk but also 1xbet best casino website to sanitize and store the equipment at each break.If the department/unit is not able to provide a nursing mother with a space to express breast milk then adequate 1xbet best casino website to travel to and from another building where an appropriate space is located must be allowed. Nursing mothers are eligible for the break for up to one year after the child's birth.

.070 1xbet best casino website , 1xbet best casino website Pay and Compensatory Time

Non-Exempt 1xbet best casino website Only

1xbet best casino website is the term given to hours worked beyond 40 in one workweek. 1xbet best casino website hours are compensated either monetarily (pay) or in compensatory time off, both at the one and one-half time rate for each hour over 40.

1. 1xbet best casino website

   The granting of 1xbet best casino website is contingent upon an existing need, usually temporary, such as additional workload, special projects or events, or to cover the absence of another employee. Working additional hours for the purpose of receiving additional pay or accruing extra compensatory time off for future use (e.g. to avoid depleting leave reserves) is prohibited and creates an unnecessary fiscal obligation for departments.

   1xbet best casino website is reached once an employee has worked beyond the 40-hour maximum allowable hours in a given workweek. Compensation for 1xbet best casino website hours must be paid at the one and one-half time rate to non-exempt employees for any hours worked in excess of 40 hours in any given week. The department head/director of the unit is responsible for control of 1xbet best casino website . 1xbet best casino website , to the extent possible, will be authorized in advance by the responsible supervisor.

   1. 1xbet best casino website Hours. In determining whether an employee has worked any 1xbet best casino website , only those hours actually worked will be considered. This is not the same as "in-pay status" which includes all paid leave hours, no matter the type. Under certain restrictive and emergency conditions as determined by Human Resources, an official state holiday may be counted as time worked for employees in positions eligible to receive 1xbet best casino website compensation.

      An instance of "in-pay status" as opposed to 1xbet best casino website status is the scenario where the number of hours worked is less than or equal to 40, but when added to leave time taken becomes greater than 40. In this case, the extra hours are termed "additional" and are to be paid at the regular rate of pay. Alternatives for handling additional hours are listed inSection .070(A)(3) below. To avoid placing an employee into an 1xbet best casino website situation, an employer can plan in advance to change the employee's work schedule. SeeSection .040(E) for a full discussion.

   2. 1xbet best casino website Pay. Payment for 1xbet best casino website worked will be at one and one-half times the employee's regular rate of pay. This rate will not include premium pay for holidays worked or any call-in and callback compensation paid for hours not actually worked. Refer to1xbet onlinefor information on calculating 1xbet best casino website .

   3. Additional Hours. These are neither 1xbet best casino website nor compensatory time hours. Additional hours are earned when an employee is in pay status (which includes all leave hours) for more than 40 hours but has not actually worked more than 40 hours. In this instance, an employee may be given equivalent time off in the same workweek as discussed inSection .040(E), or paid at the hourly rate of pay. Alternatively, hours of leave may be credited back to the employee if the employee agrees to the arrangement. Additional hours may not be accrued as compensatory 1xbet best casino website .

2. Compensatory 1xbet best casino website . (Local agency employees are not eligible for compensatory 1xbet best casino website .)

   Compensatory time is an alternative method of 1xbet best casino website payment for hours worked over 40 for non-exempt employees. As such, it must be approved in advance as 1xbet best casino website . The same 1xbet best casino website principles apply: working extra hours in order to accrue compensatory time off for future use is prohibited.

   In lieu of paying a non-exempt employee for 1xbet best casino website worked, employees may be granted compensatory time off at the rate of one and one-half hours off for each hour of 1xbet best casino website worked, at some time after the workweek in which the 1xbet best casino website was worked if the following conditions are met:

   1. Agreement or understanding PER-34. The employer reaches an agreement with the employee to accept compensatory time off in lieu of 1xbet best casino website pay prior to the performance of the 1xbet best casino website worked. The same agreement does not have to be reached with each employee.
   2. The employee knowingly and voluntarily agrees to accept compensatory 1xbet best casino website .
   3. The employee is informed that the compensatory time earned may be preserved, used, or cashed out in a manner consistent with the provisions of this chapter. The maximum accrual limit at K-State is 120 hours of compensatory time for 1xbet best casino website hours worked. Any employee who has accrued 120 hours of compensatory time will be compensated with 1xbet best casino website pay for any 1xbet best casino website hours worked in excess of the 120-hour maximum.

   Employees who have requested the use of compensatory 1xbet best casino website will be permitted to use such 1xbet best casino website within a reasonable period after making the request if use of the 1xbet best casino website does not unduly disrupt the operations of the unit. Mere inconvenience to an employer is insufficient reason to deny an employee's request to use compensatory 1xbet best casino website . Likewise, each employee who has accrued compensatory 1xbet best casino website off may be required to use the compensatory 1xbet best casino website within a reasonable period after receiving notice to do so. The notice will include the length of 1xbet best casino website in which a specified number of hours of compensatory 1xbet best casino website are to be used. A department may opt to pay out all or any portion of compensatory 1xbet best casino website due an employee at the department's discretion.

   An employer may decide to pay out, in whole or in part, any 1xbet best casino website worked without affecting subsequent granting of compensatory time for future 1xbet best casino website worked.

   If an employee separates, promotes, demotes or transfers, unused compensatory 1xbet best casino website must be paid out. Additionally, if a non-exempt employee's status changes to exempt, compensatory 1xbet best casino website must be used or paid out prior to the effective date.

.080 Travel and Training

Non-Exempt 1xbet best casino website Only

1. Travel.

   The principles that apply in determining whether or not 1xbet best casino website spent in travel is working 1xbet best casino website depend upon the kind of travel involved. Travel scenarios differ greatly and advance planning withCompensation and Organizational Effectiveness is often helpful.

   To and From Work: 1xbet best casino website spent "walking, riding, or traveling to and from the actual place of performance of the principal activity {work}" is not work 1xbet best casino website and therefore is not compensable. The use of an employer's car to travel to and from work is generally not compensable so long as the use of such vehicle is within the normal commuting area for the employer's business and the employee voluntarily agrees that such 1xbet best casino website is not compensable. In this case, a commuting agreement must be in writing outlining the arrangement with the employee for use of the employer's vehicle. The agreement must include the understanding that no compensation will be received for the 1xbet best casino website spent in transit to and from home.

   Travel During the Work Day: Travel 1xbet best casino website of an employee during the workday, such as travel to and from repair sites and 1xbet best casino website spent traveling to a central location to receive instructions or pick up tools, must be counted as hours worked.

   One day out-of-town travel: If a non-exempt employee travels out of town for less than one day, theemployee must be paid for all travel 1xbet best casino website , excluding travel 1xbet best casino website from home to public transportation (commuting 1xbet best casino website ) and bona fide meal times.

   Overnight travel: Employees who travel overnight on business must be paid for 1xbet best casino website spent traveling (except for meal periods) during their normal working hours on their regular working days as well as during normal working hours on their non-working days, such as Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. For instance, if an employee's working 1xbet best casino website is regularly scheduled 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, then any travel on Saturday and Sunday between those hours is also compensable.

2. Training Programs, Lectures and Meetings.

   1xbet best casino website spent in training programs, lectures and meetings is not considered working 1xbet best casino website if all four of the following are true:

   1. Attendance is outside of the employee regular working hours.

.085 Alternative Work Schedules--Flextime

When determined by the immediate supervisor and department head to be consistent with departmental needs, departments may institute a schedule of flexible working hours for university support staff and managerial/professional employees, provided it does not increase staffing costs or decrease departmental efficiency.
