  • Social distancing and flexible schedules should be continued through this project.
  • Employees will earn overtime as long as the employee physically works more than 40 hours during the work week (Sunday through Saturday). If an employee is off for any reason and is unable to physically work 40 hours in the week, they will receive straight time for those additional hours worked, until the 40 hour minimum is met. There will be no exceptions for holiday weeks.

FIELD REPORTING FOR THIS OT PROJECT:

  • Employees should work with their chain of command to receive prior approval to work the hours. This can be done by email or other written correspondence.
  • All staff working overtime must enter hours worked in the SharePoint OT site. Staff should use the appropriate OT Task depending on the work that they are completing.
  • All hours worked for OT should be entered into Leave Track after the hours have been worked. This time should be submitted as ADDHR time in Leave Track. The entry must include a note stating which OT project you worked on (to match what was entered in the SharePoint OT site). The entry must be approved by the supervisor through the Leave Track system.
  • Each Manager must approve Overtime Sheet for Payroll (attached Excel file) for each employee and submit to Stephanie Robertson via email. It is very important that the ‘Job Class’ portion of the form be completed.

The payroll report schedule is posted on the FSD Work Site under OT Tracking.
