Base pay for new hires, promotions, and other job changes is determined by factors including the position's minimum qualifications, the pay of current employees in the same classification, and an individual's skills and credentials, while also considering budget, equity, and market factors.
In accordance with the FLSA, non-exempt employees will receive overtime pay at one and one-half times their regular rate for hours actually worked over forty (40) in a workweek. Paid leave hours, such as vacation, sick, or holiday time, do not count toward the 40-hour threshold for overtime calculation.
Exempt employees are not eligible for overtime pay.
An exempt employee may receive supplemental pay for taking on a significant additional assignment that is outside their regular duties, such as teaching a university course. All supplemental pay requests require written approval from the supervisor, appropriate Vice President, and the President before the assignment begins.
Compensation reviews are conducted annually, and any merit adjustments are based on individual performance evaluations, market trends, and KSU's financial capacity.
Salaries are paid through KSU's established pay cycle, and direct deposit is mandatory. All legally required deductions for taxes and benefits will be made.
Employees with questions or concerns about their compensation should contact OHR.
