Yes
No, but I am requesng an excepon.
In limited situaons, an MCD allowance may be issued to a non-exempt employee when their job responsibilies require
the frequent use of their employee-owned device to accomplish University business. The Department Head or designee of
the non-exempt employee is responsible for documenng an excepon to the MCD policy. The non-exempt employee is
responsible for cerfying aer hours usage on the employee's monthly me sheet, which the supervisor must approve. The
Department Head or designee must complete an annual review of the business juscaon for the excepon. (Eecve,
May 2018)
If you are a non-exempt employee (subject to FLSA) with a full-me, twelve month appointment and would like to request
an MCD allowance, provide a unique business juscaon to request an excepon below.
