Compensatory (Comp) Time

Compensatory time, which is commonly known as comp time, is time off with pay in lieu of overtime pay for irregular or occasional overtime work.

Non-Exempt Employees

Employees whose duties and responsibilities determined by Human Resources to be “subject” to the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) are considered “subject” or “non-exempt” employees. These employees must track their work time by clocking in and out each day. Non-exempt employees are subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and accrue leave at time and one half for each hour worked over 40 in a workweek. Overtime is not a “right” and should only be worked with management approval due to the business needs of a department.

Exempt Employees

Employees whose duties and responsibilities have been determined by Human Resources to be “exempt” from the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) are considered to be “exempt” employees. These employees do not have to clock in and out in WolfTime. Exempt employees do not earn comp time for hours worked over 40 in a workweek.
