When does an employee receive overtime/compensatory time for temporary duty?
Overtime or compensatory time are methods of compensation for hours of officially ordered or approved work that exceeds 8 hours in a day or 40 hours in a week. Employees on compressed work schedules are entitled to overtime compensation for officially ordered or approved work that exceeds their basic work requirement for the day the overtime was worked, provided the non-overtime work for that day was at least 8 hours in duration. Part-time employees must complete 8 hours per day or 40 hours per week to be entitled to overtime or compensatory time.
