Exempt & Non-Exempt Staff

All staff positions are classified as either non-exempt (hourly) or exempt (salaried) according to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The law outlines a set of criteria relating to job responsibilites that are used to classify jobs as non-exempt or exempt.

Non-exempt staff are subject to FLSA overtime provisions and must be paid time and one-half their regular rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in a week.

Exempt staff are not subject to FLSA overtime provisions and are paid an annual salary for all hours worked.
