Managers and supervisors may need to set new expectations and change department schedules and/or behaviors in order to manage hours worked within budgets. It is important to clearly communicate any new department standards or business processes to newly non-exempt employees. These communications should include:
- Guidelines for using mobile devices outside of normal work hours to respond to calls or emails. More information on mobile devices outside of normal work hours is available below in the "Miscellaneous" section.
- Expectation to seek approval for overtime. More information on overtime is available below in the "Overtime" section.
- Adjustments to work schedules when work must occur outside of normal business hours. More information is available below in the "Flex Time" section.
Communicating a clearly defined overtime approval process to your non-exempt employees can assist you in managing both time and budget resources. However, while non-exempt employees should seek pre-approval before working overtime, it is important to remember that all overtime must be paid, whether pre-approved or not.
