Compensatory Time and Overtime/Classified Employees

Classified employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement, who work more than forty (40) hours in a given work week, may receive overtime pay according to the terms of the current collective bargaining agreement. Other employees who work more than forty (40) hours in a given work week may receive overtime pay of one and one-half (1 1/2) times the normal hourly rate unless the District and the employee agree to the provisions of compensation time at a rate of one and one-half (1 1/2) times all hours worked in excess of forty (40) hours in any work week. No overtime is authorized for any classified employee without the specific approval of the Superintendent, except as the Superintendent shall otherwise prescribe.

Under Montana law and the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act, a classified employee may not volunteer work time in an assignment similar to his or her regular work without pay.

A non-exempt employee who works overtime without authorization may be subject to disciplinary action.
