Workweek

The FLSA’s workweek for non-exempt employees is generally a fixed period of 168 hours – seven consecutive 24-hour periods – which is established by the employer. The FLSA uses a single workweek as its standard and does not permit averaging of hours over two or more weeks. (The FLSA does have some exceptions to this rule; however, please note that DePauw University does not have any positions that qualify for those exceptions.) DePauw’s workweek coincides with the calendar week, which begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday.
