Kentucky State University (KSU) compensates employees for every hour worked and observes all requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and pertinent Kentucky labor statutes. Non-exempt employees who physically work more than forty (40) hours in a designated workweek are entitled to overtime pay. This regulation establishes (1) KSU's definition of overtime, (2) the conditions under which overtime work may be authorized, and (3) the responsibilities of employees and supervisors to ensure accurate timekeeping and lawful compensation.

An individual whose position meets one or more exemption tests under the FLSA (executive, administrative, professional, etc.) and is therefore not eligible for overtime pay.
