Employees are paid monthly by direct deposit to a financial institution of their choice.

For those positions subject to the overtime provisions (non-exempt) of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), our policy is to provide time off for overtime hours whenever possible, by awarding compensatory time (on a 1 and ½ hour compensatory time for one (1) hour overtime basis) as provided at the employee’s discretion if reasonable notice is given and if such use does not unduly disrupt operations. Upon separation from North Carolina A&T State University (or at any other time at the supervisor’s discretion) accumulated overtime compensatory hours will be paid at the employee’s current rate of pay.
