Overtime

When Southwest Care Center experiences periods of extremely high activity, additional work may be required. Supervisors are responsible for monitoring business activity and requesting overtime work if it is necessary. Effort will be made to provide team members with adequate advance notice in such situations.

 

Team members may work overtime only with prior management authorization. Any  non- exempt team member who works overtime without authorization may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

​

Any non-exempt team member who works overtime will be compensated at the rate of one and one-half times (1.5) their regular hourly wage for all time worked in excess of 40 hours each workweek, unless otherwise required by applicable law. Overtime pay is calculated based on actual hours worked. Paid time off, holidays, or any leave of absence will not be considered hours worked for purposes of performing overtime calculations.

 

For purposes of calculating overtime for non-exempt team members, the workweek begins at 12 a.m. on Sunday and ends 168 hours later at 12 a.m. on the following Sunday.
