The hours the employee is on campus working will be compensated at one and one-half the employee’s normal rate of pay. This will be in addition to regular pay if others not required to report are paid. Any additional overtime will be paid on actual hours worked in excess of 40 hours excluding paid-time-off such as sick leave, vacation, holiday, etc.
