WORK HOURS AND OVERTIME For purposes of timekeeping and overtime calculations, the regular workweek at the Utilities runs from Tuesday through Monday. Non-exempt employees are paid on the basis of hours worked. Exempt employees are paid on a salary basis; their compensation is not based on the number of hours they work. All non-exempt employees will be paid for their time worked in excess of forty (40) hours during the workweek (Tuesday – Monday) at a rate of one and one-half times the employee’s regular rate of pay. In addition, regular field workers will be paid for regular work performed in excess of eight (8) hours in a day at a rate of one and one-half times the employee’s regular rate of pay.

Also, when a field worker is mandated to start work prior to the normal scheduled work day, the hours worked outside of the regular scheduled workday will be paid at a rate of one and one-half time the employee’s regular rate of pay. Two times a non-exempt employee’s regular rate will be paid for time worked on Sundays and designated Holidays.
