28.24
Upon request of the employee, the appropriate administrator shall provide an accounting of the employee's CTO balance.
28.25
When an employee is separated from service, he/she is entitled to a lump-sum payment for any earned CTO by reason of previous overtime worked.
Exempt Employees
28.26
The intent of this section 28.26 is to comply with the requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
  A. For full-time employees in classifications listed in Appendix C, the workweek shall be a minimum average of forty (40) hours per week during any six (6) consecutive pay periods. This provision shall apply pro rata to less than full-time employees. Authorized work may include performance of specialized professional services, participation in committee assignments, and participation in approved professional activities. Work in excess of the minimum average workweek is not compensable in cash or CTO, and shall not be deemed overtime.
  B. Employees shall not be assigned an unreasonable or excessive workload.
  C. Employees who have absences of less than a full day shall receive a full day's salary and shall neither have their salary docked nor be required to use sick leave or vacation for absences of less than a full day.
  D. CSU employees in exempt classifications are exempt from FLSA which means they are exempt from overtime payment requirements. If exempt employees need to work hours in excess of the normal business week or business day, they do not receive overtime or CTO. Exempt employees are expected to accomplish assigned work without regard for numbers of hours worked. When it is necessary for employees to work extended hours, managers may authorize informal adjustments in work hours. Normally, it is not necessary to keep complex records of hours worked. If a manager feels an employee is not working an appropriate number of hours, the employee should be counseled. If corrective actions are being considered, performance records should be maintained. Any non-disciplinary, corrective action by supervisors should be addressed to failures by the employee to meet job performance standards and requirements. Typically, such cases should usually involve consultation by the supervisor with the campus Human Resources Office. Human Resources is informed of FLSA requirements and is able to obtain advice from the Office of General Counsel as needed.
  The provisions of this section 28.26 are subject to the grievance procedure and, pursuant to Article 10, grievances may be filed by individual employees, groups of employees or the Union on behalf of a unit employee or group of unit employees.
  At the option of APC, in the event that a grievance alleging a violation of this section is not settled at Level I, APC may submit solely the issue of whether a violation of this section occurred directly to arbitration no later than thirty (30) days after the Level I response. In considering whether this section has been violated, the arbitrator shall not be precluded from reviewing the contract as a whole. Such arbitration hearing shall be held on a mutually agreeable date within forty-five (45) days of the date of the arbitration submission. Any party, its witnesses or the arbitrator may elect to participate in such arbitration hearings via conference telephone call. Such arbitrations concerning this section shall be conducted without court reporter's transcripts or briefs.
  Each individual's case will be decided on its own merits, and grievance/arbitration decisions concerning this section shall not operate as precedents for other cases. The arbitrator shall issue a written award but no opinion. With regard to provisions A, B and D above, the sole and exclusive remedy for the CSU's violation of the terms of these provisions shall be limited to a prospective cease and desist order.
