Premium Pay
Hourly 4.3

Effective November 17, 2008

This policy applies to all Hourly employees.

A. Purpose

Indiana University recognizes that certain work related circumstances call for additional compensation in the form of premium pay in addition to an individual's base hourly rate. The purpose of this policy is to identify those circumstances, the criteria to qualify for the premium pay, the amount of the premium pay, and the general guidelines for administering the premium pay.

B. Introduction

This policy establishes the university's personnel policies on the following premium pay benefits for Hourly employees: shift differential and Sunday premium.

C. Shift differential pay

1. Each campus will determine if it will provide any shift differential and, if so, what jobs are covered, what hours are covered, and the amount of the compensation for shift differential for that campus and will make that information available to Hourly employees in the affected departments and the campus human resources office. In all cases:

   1. Shift differentials are separate from the base wage for the covered positions.

   2. The shift differential is to be combined with the base hourly rate before the calculation of any overtime rate for hours worked that are covered by a shift differential.

2. IUPUI has determined that it will provide the following shift differential:

   1. Shift differential is paid for hours worked between 3:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. provided that a minimum of four consecutive hours is worked during the designated shift differential period.

   2. Except as provided below, shift differential is not paid if the scheduled shift is less than four hours.

   3. An employee who is scheduled, called back, or called in to work outside the normal daily work schedule and requires an additional trip to and from work outside the normal workday is eligible for shift differential for time worked between 3:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. regardless of the length of time worked.

D. Sunday premium pay

1. Each campus will determine whether it will pay a premium for time worked on a Sunday and, if so, what the amount will be and what jobs will receive the premium payment. In all cases:

   1. Sunday premiums are separate from the base wage for the covered positions.

   2. The Sunday premium is to be combined with the base hourly rate before the calculation of any overtime rate for hours worked that are covered by a Sunday premium.

2. IUPUI has determined that it will provide Sunday premium as follows:

   1. Time worked between 12:00 a.m. and 12:00 midnight on Sunday is paid at a rate of pay equal to one and one-quarter the employee’s normal hourly rate.
