§ 88029 Community College Overtime Exemptions

Key Takeaways

  • •Some high-level jobs (like bosses or managers) at community colleges don’t get paid extra for working more than their normal hours.
  • •To skip overtime pay, the job must be a real management job with special duties, flexible hours, good pay, and benefits.
  • •Even if these bosses don’t get overtime, they still get extra pay or time off if they work on a holiday.
  • •The college’s leaders must write down and approve why these jobs don’t get overtime, making sure it’s fair.

Example

The dean of a community college works late nights and weekends but doesn’t get overtime pay.

The dean’s job is considered a high-level management position, so the college decided they don’t get overtime. But if the dean works on Thanksgiving, they get extra pay or a day off later.

§ 88029 Community College Overtime Exemptions

Notwithstanding Sections 88026 and 88027, a personnel commission, when applicable, or a governing board of a community college district, may specify certain positions or classes of positions as supervisory, administrative, or executive and exclude the employees serving in those positions and the positions from the overtime provisions. To be excluded from the overtime provisions, the positions or classes of positions must clearly and reasonably be management positions. In approving positions or classes of positions for exclusion from the overtime provisions, the personnel commission, when applicable, or the governing board of a district, shall certify, in writing, that the duties, flexibility of hours, salary, benefit structure, and authority of the positions or classes of positions are of such a nature that they should be set apart from those positions that are subject to the overtime provisions, and that employees serving in the excluded positions or classes of positions will not be unreasonably discriminated against as a result of the exclusion. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, if a person serving in an excluded position is required to work on a holiday, as provided for in this code, or by action of a governing board, he or she shall be paid, in addition to his or her regular pay for the holiday, compensation, or given compensating time off, at a rate not less than his or her normal rate of pay. This section shall apply to districts that have adopted the merit system in the same manner and effect as if it were a part of Article 3 (commencing with Section 88060). (Amended by Stats. 1993, Ch. 139, Sec. 2. Effective July 19, 1993.)
