Shift Differential Pay
How does it work?
Shift Differential Pay may be given to non-exempt University employees
[excluding student workers and wage employees] who are required to work
scheduled hours outside of the usual University workday. The usual University
workday is defined as 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, with one
hour off for lunch. There are some departments or units who due to the nature
of their business have functions that preclude the usual workday schedule. In
these cases, shift differential pay would be based on scheduled hours outside
the approved alternate workday.
How often can it be given?
Any employee receiving shift differential will be paid a uniform pay rate of
$00.50 (fifty cents) per hour. This rate shall be paid in addition to the
employee's regular hourly rate.
Who approves it?
Shift Differential Pay may be given only upon
the approval of the appropriate vice president of each respective
division. Changes to the rate for shift differential pay shall be
recommended in writing by the Human Resources Department, through
the Senior Vice President for Finance and Chief Financial Officer,
to the President for approval.
