Comp Information & Opportunities

UPPS Policy-Energy Conservation Days

05.03 Energy Conservation Days

A regular staff employee who does not work on a scheduled energy conservation day must use paid leave to cover their absence. Employees are expected to use their state compensatory time, FLSA overtime or vacation to cover these days or be placed on leave without pay.

Since the university may not advance overtime or state compensatory time to employees, staff members must acquire the necessary hours in advance. Supervisors must provide ample opportunity for an employee to earn the necessary FLSA overtime or state compensatory time in advance of an energy conservation day.

If an employee earns FLSA overtime or state compensatory time in preparation for an energy conservation day but uses the hours for another reason, the supervisor has discretion on whether to allow the employee the opportunity to earn additional hours to cover the energy conservation day.

Supervisors can require an employee to use FLSA overtime for energy conservation days before utilizing state compensatory time or vacation.

A part-time classified employee generally will not accrue FLSA overtime or state compensatory time. Therefore, additional hours worked are paid as they are worked during the year to offset leave without pay during an energy conservation day. Supervisors are encouraged to work out a plan with their employee to set expectations on when additional payments and reduction for leave without pay will occur.
