Dear Colleagues:



If your department offers Compensatory Time Off (CTO) for overtime hours
worked, employees in your department covered by the bargaining units listed
above should be offered an opportunity during the month of June to elect
CTO for fiscal year 2026-27.



*CX, SX and K5*:

The contracts currently in place for the CX, SX and K5 bargaining units
contain the following provision with respect to CTO: “Unless the employee
and the University agree otherwise, overtime will be paid. An employee may,
upon hire and thereafter during the month of June, file a written
indication of preference for either compensatory time off or pay with the
employee’s immediate supervisor. The University shall grant the preference
indicated.”



*RX and TX:*

The contracts currently in place for the RX and TX bargaining units contain
the following provision with respect to CTO: “Unless the employee and the
University agree otherwise, overtime will be paid. An employee may, upon
hire and thereafter during the month of June, file a written indication of
preference for either compensatory time off or pay with the employee’s
immediate supervisor. The University shall grant the preference indicated.
If no preference is indicated to the department in the annual June period
for changes, the employee’s previous election shall continue.”



*HX: *

The contract currently in place for the HX unit contains the following
provision with respect to CTO: “Unless the employee and the University
agree otherwise, overtime will be paid. An employee may within thirty (30)
days of the effective date of this agreement, or upon hire, and thereafter
during the month of June, file a written indication of preference for
either compensatory time off or pay with the employee’s immediate
supervisor. The University shall grant the preference indicated.  The
written indication of preference referenced above may be withdrawn by
mutual agreement of the supervisor and the employee”


For employees in each of the above bargaining units, unless an employee
submits a change to their election for compensatory time off during June
2026, the employee’s previous election shall continue.



For your convenience, forms for this purpose are available at  Employee &
Labor Relations - forms | Human Resources
