In December, HBS was enhanced to apply new daily overtime rules for employees in the Clerical and Allied Services Unit. Employees covered under the Clerical and Allied Services Unit contract earn overtime when work hours exceed the hours of a full-time employee’s regular daily schedule on pay status or when hours exceed forty hours on pay status in a work week. The new daily overtime provision allows that an employee whose work hours exceed their regular scheduled shift of eight hours, or more, a day will earn overtime.
- Overtime hours for hours worked in excess of eight hours are compensated at one and one-half time the straight-time rate.
- Overtime hours are compensated at two times the straight-time rate for hours worked in excess of twelve hours in a day.
The daily overtime provisions are effective November 27, 2022, for biweekly paid employees and December 1, 2022, for monthly paid employees.
The new daily overtime rules reference the scheduled shift designated in HBS when calculating the daily overtime; standard shifts are 8-hours or alternative schedules include 9-hours, 10-hours, and 12-hours. To ensure the correct calculation, managers and supervisors must regularly review employee schedules and contact HBS Processing Center to make any needed updates.
