The university has two types of overtime for eligible staff employees: straight and premium. Employees may receive either compensatory time off (comp time) or pay for overtime worked.

Conditions

Only non-exempt employees are eligible for overtime. Exempt and non-exempt titles are identified in the Staff Title and Pay Plan.
Overtime work must be approved in advance by your supervisor.

Rate

To find your overtime rate, see hours of work posted on the different UC Bargaining Units & Contracts
