Exempt (Monthly Pay) Staff
Exempt (monthly pay) employees are only required to submit exception time cards for time off. Hours worked do not need to be reported, and a weekly time card is not required, except for those weeks when exception time off is taken. University holiday and recess time is not considered exception time off and does not need to be reported. Exempt employees that did not work or that do not need to report exception time off during the Winter Recess do not need to submit a time card.
