Outside Employment by College Employees

Personnel are urged to conscientiously evaluate extra-college activities and employment with regard to professional and ethical propriety. The individual should confer with appropriate college officials concerning such outside activities.

Overload Teaching

Overload teaching for full-time college employees may occur during the regular day, evenings, or on weekends and may be on-campus or off-campus. When the overload occurs during the regular work schedule, the employee workload (35 hours for faculty and 37 1/2 hours for other employees) is extended for the period of time involved with the additional compensation. Annual or personal leave may also be taken to offset time away from workload requirements. Documentation of how workload hours are accommodated for, and leave papers if applicable, should be submitted at the time the overload is requested and the documentation will be maintained in the Human Resources Office. Overload compensation will be paid at the current rate (see IMM).

Overtime

Hourly personnel working beyond the normal 37 1/2 hour workweek will be compensated at the rate of time and one-half the normal hourly rate. Authorization of all "overtime" will be made in advance by the vice president of administration & finance. A time sheet will be signed by the immediate supervisor and forwarded to the Business Office. Time sheets will be turned in immediately after the authorization of each period of overtime to the Business Office for payment. Compensatory time (comp. time) shall be earned at this same rate and must have the prior approval of the immediate supervisor. Compensatory time must be used within two calendar months.
