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 forany 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).
