33 June 2025 236096v1 means work you perform but fail to report on your time card. Any employee who fails to report or inaccurately reports hours worked will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination. It is a violation of the Utilities’ policy for any employee to falsify a time card, or to alter another employee’s time card. It is also a serious violation of Utilities policy for any employee or manager to instruct another employee to incorrectly or falsely report hours worked or alter another employee’s time card to under-report or over-report hours worked. If any manager or employee instructs you to either (1) incorrectly or falsely under-report or over-report your hours worked, or (2) alter another employee’s time records to inaccurately or falsely report that employee’s hours worked, you should report the situation immediately to the Payroll Specialist, the Finance Manager, or your supervisor/manager. On Call Time For Non-Exempt Employees Non-exempt employees in certain positions may be scheduled to be on call for duty of various kinds. Compensation for time spent on call by non-exempt employees is generally subject to applicable state and federal law and to the terms of any governing union contract. Similarly, compensation for time spent actually working is paid according to applicable state and federal law and to the terms of any governing union contract. EXEMPT EMPLOYEES Salary Basis of Compensation If you are classified as an exempt employee, you will receive a salary that is intended to compensate you for all hours worked for the Utilities. This salary will be established at the time of hire or when you become classified as an exempt employee. While your salary may be subject to review and modification from time to time, such as during salary review times, the salary will be a predetermined amount that will not be subject to deductions for variations in the quantity or quality of the work you perform. Attendance and Recording Time for Exempt Employees Although exempt employees are paid on a salary basis and not by the hour, all exempt employees are nevertheless required to record all time spent working for the Utilities. This is important for a variety of reasons, but it is not for the purpose of paying an exempt employee other than on a salary basis. For payroll purposes, the regular workweek for exempt employees of the Utilities is defined as the week running from Tuesday morning at 12:00 a.m. to the following Monday evening at 11:59 p.m. The regular business workday for exempt employees is generally from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. or 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., unless a manager, Director, or supervisor has specified other expectations or arrangements. The Utilities generally expects that an exempt employee will work forty or more hours in each workweek. Exempt employees are required to meet the Utilities’ attendance standards, which the Utilities sets in its discretion. 100
