Exempt/Non
Exempt Status
What's the difference between an exempt and a nonexempt job?
The Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) provides overtime pay
standards. Some employees, such as executive and administrative
employees, are exempt from the requirements of the Act. These exemptions
are generally based on the responsibility, discretion, independent
judgment and decision making authority required in the job.
Employees in non-exempt jobs must be paid overtime for hours worked
over forty (40) hours per week. This means that all non-exempt employees'
time worked must be recorded to be in compliance with the Act. Exempt
employees are not eligible to receive overtime pay.
Human Resources will assist Department Heads/Chairs and Supervisors
to ensure compliance with the Act.
