Exempt and Non-Exempt
The term "exempt" means exempt from overtime
pay and compensatory time. Employees in this category are paid a salary rather
than hourly. This means that an exempt employee cannot collect overtime pay
for hours worked in excess of forty hours per week. Non-exempt employees are
paid on an hourly basis and earn overtime pay for any hours worked in excess
of forty hours per week or are eligible for compensatory time. Exempt and
non-exempt employees have somewhat different benefit options that are explained
at the time of hire or when moving from one classification to another. Please
contact Human Resources for any questions you may have about your employment
exemption status
(Board of Control Policy 3.3).
