Employment Status
The following terms are to be used to describe the classification of employees and their employment status. Certain benefits and conditions outlined elsewhere in this Handbook are determined by your employment status.
Definitions:
- Non-Exempt Employee - Employees whose positions are eligible for overtime pay (overtime must be pre-approved). Overtime pay is paid at one and one-half times (1½) an employee’s regular pay for regular hours worked in excess of twelve (12) hours in one (1) day or forty (40) hours in one week.
- Exempt Employee - Employees whose positions are not eligible for (are exempt from) overtime pay.
- Full-time Employee - Employees who regularly work or average forty (40) hours per week.
- Part-time Employee - Employees who regularly work or average less than forty (40) hours per week.
- Temporary Employee - An employee who is hired in a job established for a temporary period or for a specific assignment (full or part-time).
- Per Diem - An employee who is on active status and called to perform work on an intermittent basis as needed.
The above does not constitute a guarantee of employment for any period of time.
