WCPS Employee Handbook 2023-2024

Employees may not work through their assigned lunch period or come in early or work past their assigned schedule for the purpose of accumulating compensatory time. Non-exempt employees may not work in excess of their scheduled hours per week without prior approval of their supervisor. Supervisors will make every effort to avoid circumstances that will require non-exempt employees to work more than 40 hours each week. The employee’s workweek starts on Sunday, 12:00am and runs through Saturday, 11:59pm. Supervisors have the responsibility for monitoring the accrual of such overtime which results in accumulated compensatory time. Current balances for unused sick leave, personal leave and annual leave and compensatory time (if eligible) are available for all employees electronically. Employees can view their leave balances, at their convenience, at their assigned Kronos time and attendance device, on their personal mobile device, or at their computer via their Kronos log-in. Supervisors should likewise review leave balances before approving time off for their employees. Supervisors should communicate this timekeeping procedure clearly and apply it fairly to all employees. In cases where “non-exempt” employees are routinely working substantially more than their assigned scheduled hours each pay period, supervisors should consult with their appropriate Director to examine the employee’s workload and work efficiency and review their department’s overall staffing to ensure they are appropriate. All time and attendance records, including the previously used lunch break tracking form must be retained for a period of five (5) years. Failure to comply with these procedures could result in disciplinary action up to and including termination. Compensatory Time/ Overtime Under the Fair Labor Standards Act. WCBOE keeps complete records of any time worked by employees beyond their normal workweek (overtime). A unit association member shall not work more than (40) forty hours per week without prior approval of the supervisor. Compensatory time, or “comp time” is the number of hours worked in excess of your scheduled contract work week. This time may be accumulated and compensated by time off within reason and full knowledge and approval of immediate supervisor (comp time). Comp time is figured at the rate of one times the excess time worked. Overtime compensation above (40) forty hours will be made at one and one-half (1½) times the normal work rate for approved work beyond (40) forty hours. The employer will provide compensation either with salary or compensatory time. The employer will determine the type of compensation. Section 2, POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
