What is the Fair Labor Standards Act?
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and child labor standards affecting full-time and part-time workers. Who determines if a position is overtime eligible? The Human Resource Department determines the overtime eligibility status for all positions based upon criteria established by the US Department of Labor.

How soon after I submit my overtime slip will I get paid for the overtime?
The paycheck in which you receive your overtime will vary depending on when overtime was worked and when the pay period ended.
  • If the pay period ends on a Friday or Saturday, any overtime worked during that time will be paid on the next check.
  • If the pay period ends in the middle of a week, any overtime worked during that week will be paid after the next time sheet is submitted so that we may verify hours worked.

Can my supervisor require that I adjust my schedule at the end of my workweek to avoid paying overtime?
