Wage Administration

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) regulates employers activities, including Yale's, concerning hours of work, the payment of wages and salaries, minimum rates of pay, overtime payments, and record keeping requirements.  Student employees, who perform non-exempt work (comparable to clerical and technical and service and maintenance job duties), are subject to the Act's provisions.

The FLSA requires that an accurate record of hours worked and wages paid in each pay period be maintained.  The Act also requires that the student employees, working in non-exempt positions, be paid overtime at the rate of time and one-half their regular hourly rate, if they work beyond 40 hours in a workweek at Yale University.  Payment of overtime to employees in non-exempt positions is a provision and a requirement of the FLSA and the State of Connecticut and applies to all non-exempt student, casual, temporary, and bargaining unit employees.

Connecticut law requires that employees be paid within eight days of the last day worked.  Student time sheets or on-line entries must be made weekly to ensure timely payment of wages for hours worked.

Periodically, the State of Connecticut or the U.S. Department of Labor conducts on-site audits of employers to ensure compliance with state and federal laws.  Violations of these laws can result in back pay payments and fines for violations.

If you have any questions regarding student employment please call Sharon Tarascio in Library Human Resources at ext. 21810.
