Federal and state laws require Northview Church to keep an accurate record of time worked to calculate staff member pay and benefits.
Time worked is all time spent on the job performing assigned duties. Non-exempt staff members must record any hours worked in Trinet every day, documenting the time he or she begins and ends their workday, as well as any meal periods or excused departures from work.
Timesheets are due for submission every other Saturday. It is the staff member’s responsibility to submit timesheets on time for payroll processing.
The supervisor for each non-exempt employee is responsible for verifying the staff member’s hours on time for payroll processing every other Monday.
- MEAL PERIOD - An uninterrupted meal break over 20 minutes in duration is not time worked.
- TRAVEL TIME - Required travel time is typically worked, unless it is “home to work” and “work to home” travel.
- TIMEKEEPING WHILE AT CONFERENCES -
COMPENSABLE:
• Travel away from home must be paid when it occurs during the employees regularly scheduled
hours, including non-workdays
• Time spent attending authorized conferences and meetings
• Required attendance at meals or meal breaks where work is performed
• Required attendance at social functions
NON-COMPENSABLE:
• Travel away from home and outside of regular working hours as a passenger in a car, on an
airplane, train or bus where no work is performed
• Regular meal periods where no work is performed
• Voluntary attendance at social functions
• Time spent sleeping
• Time spent outside of the conference/meetings (i.e. sightseeing)
When attending conferences, please be mindful of adjusting your workweek so as not to exceed your normal weekly hours.
- OVERTIME - In accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees are eligible to receive overtime pay at a rate of one and one-half times their regular pay for time worked in excess of 40 hours per workweek. Exempt employees are not eligible for overtime and are expected to work the hours required to perform the duties of the job. Overtime should be approved by the supervisor prior to overtime work. At the supervisor’s discretion, the employee’s work schedule may be adjusted during a workweek to avoid overtime. Non-exempt employees may not accrue compensatory time in lieu of overtime pay.
- VOLUNTEER TIME - Employees will only be performing bona fide volunteer work for Northview Church when the service is not in their area of ministry, and the service is not during normal work hours, and the service is not required or suggested by a supervisor and the tasks are those normally completed by a volunteer.
