FLSA Overtime and Compensable Time
Overtime – must pay if employee works over 40 hours
If “suffered or allowed” to work, must be compensated
Flexible scheduling – In lieu of overtime
- Schedule is adjusted to prevent overtime
- Must be within the same workweek
MSU does not have “comp time” to bank OT hours worked
Paid leave counts as time worked for overtime (MSU policy)

Neither federal or Kentucky law requires paid meal break
Employees should be required to take meal break

Kentucky regulations: rest periods and breaks
- 10 minutes every four hours
- Can’t dock pay for rest periods
