Middle Tennessee School of Anesthesia wants to ensure that non-exempt employees are compensated in accordance with all applicable state and federal laws and are compensated for all hours worked. Non-exempt employees are those subject to the minimum wage and overtime provisions of the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (the “FLSA”) and any applicable state law. Because MTSA relies on its employees to record their hours worked accurately and honestly, it is essential that employees record all time worked. Non-exempt employees may not perform any work without compensation. No member of management may request, require, or permit other employees to perform work without compensation.
Non-exempt employees are paid for every hour worked and will be paid overtime compensation if they work over 40 hours in a work week. Non-exempt employees are required to log their own hours worked in MTSA’s time and attendance system. Employees must use either their desktop computers, laptop computer, or any MTSA-provided kiosks to access the timekeeping system. Any absences (PTO, LWOP, Jury Duty, etc.) occurring within a pay period must be submitted as a time off request in MTSA’s time and attendance system and be approved by the supervisor by the end of the affected pay period.
At the end of each pay period, employees verify their individual timecard and submit them through the timekeeping portal. The Business Office then reviews all timecards and submits reported hours to payroll for processing.
Falsification of time records or recording time for another employee may result in discipline, up to and including termination of employment.
