At the University of Arizona (and other state schools, I¹m sure), bonuses
are not allowed since we are state employees.

We do have a supplemental compensation policy that allows for extra work
to be paid, but the requirements for this policy are strict; it¹s not
simply ³more hours², it has to be more hours either assigned to a
different unit, or hours worked in a job classification that is different
than the employee currently holds.

The common conventional definition of a salaried employee is that the
salary is for the work performed, regardless of the number of hours
worked.  That¹s why we don¹t get overtime :)  I wonder if the FLSA will
help here?
