Employment Classifications

All employees fall within one of the following classifications:

• Full-time. Employees who regularly work at least 32_ hours per week.

• Part-Time. Employees who regularly work less than 32 hours per week or on an irregular basis as needed.

• Temporary. Employees who are either hired for a specific purpose or time period, which generally does not exceed 6 months. A temporary employee may work a full-time or part-time schedule.

In addition to the above classifications, all employees are categorized as either “exempt” or “non-exempt.”  Pursuant to federal and state wage & hour laws, exempt employees do not receive overtime pay. Employees classified as exempt generally receive a salary which is intended to cover all hours worked including any hours worked in excess of 40 in a workweek or overtime as otherwise defined by applicable state law.

Employees are informed of their initial employment classification and status as exempt or non-exempt upon commencing employment. If an employee changes position during the employee’s employment as a result of a promotion, transfer or otherwise, management will inform the employee of any change in the employee’s job classification.
