PRN Employees: PRN employees are employees who work asneeded. To maintain a PRN status, employees are required tomeet established PRN guidelines and criteria as developed byeach department. Failure to maintain this work threshold normallyresults in termination. PRN employees are typically ineligiblefor benefits, with the possible exception of the retirementplan provided they meet specific plan criteria provisions.Employees should discuss their classification of employmentwith either their immediate supervisors or human resources representativesif clarification is needed, particularly in situationswhere the employee is considering a transfer from one positionto another.Employment StatusBaptist maintains standard definitions of employment status accordingto the Fair Labor Standards Act as follows:Exempt Employees: Employees who are salaried and whose positionsmeet one of the applicable exemptions under the guidelinesof the United States Department of Labor. Exemptemployees are not entitled to overtime pay and are excludedfrom certain provisions of federal and state wage and hour laws.Exempt employees generally receive full salary for any workweekin which the employee performs any work, regardless of thenumber of days or hours worked. Deductions from pay of an exemptemployee are permissible only under limited circumstances,which are outlined in the Classification of Employmentand Employee Status Policy available from management or onBaptist’s intranet site.It is Baptist’s policy to prohibit any disallowed deductions fromthe salaries of exempt employees. The Organization will notallow deductions that violate the Fair Labor Standards Act. If exemptemployees believe a deduction is incorrect, they should immediatelyreport this information to human resources, and it willbe promptly investigated. If the investigation reveals that an incorrectdeduction was made, the employee will be promptly reimbursedfor the deduction.18
