UPB - Initiate an FLSA Overtime Adjustment for Salaried Non-Exempt – Prior Underpayment Adjustment (PUA)

Units must submit a PARIS PUA for overtime hours worked by salaried non-exempt Academic and Civil Service employees for the pay period in which it was earned.

Use the Additional Time Worked adjustment reason to pay salaried non-exempt overtime. 

Exempt positions do not have timesheets. Overtime or extra hours are submitted on an Academic Hourly (HA) position set up especially for this purpose.

See the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA): Salaried Non-Exempt Employees FACT SHEET for more information regarding salaried non-exempt employee status and related compliance procedures.
