How will vacation and sick time accrual change for employees who will become eligible for overtime?

Your annualized vacation and sick leave accrual amounts will remain the same. However, since you will be moving from being paid 24 times a year (semi-monthly) to being paid 26 times a year (bi-weekly), the amount you receive with each pay will be slightly different than what you have been receiving. The important thing to remember is over a 12-month period, you will receive the same amount as you have been.

How will I report overtime?

You will not do anything special to report overtime. Your work time will be recorded in TimeClock Plus so at the end of each day, you can see what your hours are for the workweek. Overtime will be calculated once you accrue more than 40 hours in the workweek. Keep in mind that sick, vacation, and personal leave also count towards your 40 hours in a workweek.

I鈥檓 used to having some flexibility with my work schedule. Will that continue if I am now eligible for overtime?

Yes. In coordination with your supervisor, flex scheduling is allowed within the same workweek. For example, let鈥檚 say a typical schedule is eight hours a day (during the day), and your department needs you to work a special event for four hours during the evening. The schedule may be changed, with the approval of your supervisor, to give you 4 hours off at another time during the same workweek.

Is comp time subject to the 鈥渦se it or lose it鈥 rule?

No. Your comp time will never expire. It will be paid out to you if you leave the university, retire or move to a position that is not eligible for overtime. It will be paid out to you at your current hourly pay rate.

If you go over the maximum of 120 hours, the amount over 120 will be paid out to you on your next paycheck and you can鈥檛 earn any more comp time until you use or cash some out.

You can cash out comp time by emailing Payroll@kent.edu with the following information:
