Overtime-eligible (non-exempt) employees must be compensated at the rate of "time and one half" their hourly rate for working over 40 hours in a work week.

• Benefit-eligible employees have the option of choosing pay, or to receive “compensatory time” for their overtime work, saving (accruing) their overtime as "compensatory time" to be taken as “time off” later (similar to vacation time).  
• When recording overtime, for pay or to accrue as compensatory time, please record actual hours worked;   the HR Banner system automatically converts the overtime reported to time and one half when making the payment or accruing the compensatory time.
• PSU’s work week, for all employees, begins Sunday morning at 12:01 a.m. and ends Saturday evening at 12:00 midnight.

Overtime-eligible employees may be paid by the hour or by monthly salary.

• Hourly employee time sheets are completed in Banweb for a 16^th through 15^th reporting period.
• Monthly employee time sheets are completed in the Online Leave/Time System for a 1^st through 31^st reporting period using the “Calendar Entry” option, or by paper time sheet.
• All overtime-eligible employees are required to record their exact number of work hours and paid leave hours taken by the day.

Please note: Supervisory authorization is required prior to working overtime; however, overtime must be recorded and paid even when not authorized in advance.
