State Compensatory Time Example |
If a non-exempt employee works beyond their scheduled work hours in a work period, when there was a state holiday or used their accrued leave, they may be in pay status for more than 40 hours during the work period but have not actually worked more than 40 hours.
The example below illustrates the above scenario and provides options that are available to supervisors to manage state compensatory time.
A non-exempt employee with a work period from Saturday at 5:00pm to the following Friday at 5:00pm worked the schedule outlined in the table below.

Pay Status |
-
Since the employee worked only 40 hours during the work period, the employee is not entitled to Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) overtime.
-
The employee was in pay status for 48 hours during the work period due to sick leave; therefore, eight (8) hours of state compensatory time is earned.
The supervisor has the following options:
-
The employee’s schedule may be adjusted by scheduling eight (8) hours of off time for the employee prior to the end of the work period.
-
Allow the employee to accrue state compensatory time.
