PURPOSE: To define the University's overtime policy.

SCOPE: All non-exempt University employees.

POLICY: Federal wage and hour laws require that employers pay an overtime "premium" rate to non-exempt employees who work more than 40 hours in any given work week.

Northeastern's overtime policy is to pay non-exempt employees who are regularly-scheduled to work 35 hours per week and who work over 35 hours up to 40 hours a premium rate at time and 1/6; all non-exempt employees who work over 40 hours in any given work week are paid time and 1/2.
