Is a part-time Exempt employee eligible for Paid Release Time (earnings code “UC”)?
A supervisor may authorize Paid Release Time for a benefits-eligible Exempt employee who has routinely worked more than his/her scheduled FTE or has worked excessive hours for specific periods of time throughout the year, with no concurrent additional compensation. Paid Release Time is not assessed on an hour-for-hour basis, but on the overall extra effort. However, if the FTE for the part-time employee has been increased concurrently with the employee’s additional effort, then the employee has already been compensated for the additional effort, and the use of Paid Release Time during the University Closure would be inappropriate.
