BRIEF

Policy Summary

Overtime is time worked beyond the hours of a full-time day or beyond 40 hours in a week. Employees who are classified as nonexempt employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) are eligible for overtime compensation. Please refer to the full policy for important exceptions to these general rules.

For employees, who are classified as exempt employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), greater emphasis is placed on meeting the responsibilities assigned to them than on working the specified number of hours.  Exempt employees do not receive overtime compensation or compensatory time off.

An extended workweek is a planned schedule exceeding the normal 40-hour workweek for more than four consecutive weeks at a regular Berkeley Lab site or a temporary assignment at locations away from regular Laboratory sites. Employees on a pre-approved extended workweek are paid based on the planned schedule.

This policy applies to all non-represented employees. Employees who are represented by an exclusive bargaining agent should refer to their collective bargaining agreement (CBA).
