Accommodation for Nursing Mothers
Nursing mothers who wish to express breast milk while at work may request accommodations in the form of a private area and additional break time, if necessary. Eligible employees will be provided a private area (other than a restroom) for expressing breast milk. Employees can use their regular rest breaks for this purpose. Employees who need a different time or additional time should make arrangements with their supervisor. Regular rest break time used for expressing breast milk will be paid, but where additional time off is provided as special accommodation, that time may be unpaid.
Compensation and Work Hours
Payroll and Paydays
Employees are paid on or by the 15 th of each month. If a payday falls on a weekend or holiday, paychecks will be distributed on the preceding workday. Employees have the option of requesting that their paychecks be directly deposited in their bank account.
Timekeeping
Accurately recording time worked is the responsibility of every employee. Federal and state laws require the School to keep an accurate record of time worked in order to calculate employee pay and benefits. Non-exempt employees are required to record their work hours daily at the time they begin and end their work. For example, an employee who begins work at 7:00 a.m. must enter that time on the time sheet immediately. Employees also must log out before they leave their desks for lunch or leave the office. Time is to be recorded by 15-minute intervals. Non-exempt employees must turn their weekly time sheets into their supervisors by noon Monday for the preceding week. Exempt employees are required to report their absences each pay period, and the type of absence, such as sick leave, or holiday, or unpaid time off. Failure to comply with the School's timekeeping rules may lead to disciplinary action, including immediate dismissal. Non-exempt employees are provided with appropriate rest periods on each day they work more than 3.5 hours total: a ten-minute paid rest period for every four-hour work period (or work period of more than 2 hours), taken in approximately the middle of that period. Full time employees are entitled to two ten-minute break periods, in approximately the middle of the morning and the afternoon. Breaks should be arranged with your supervisor to accommodate the workflow. Employees who choose to smoke during their breaks are Meal and Rest Periods
