LW EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK DRAFT

CLASSIFICATION OF EMPLOYEES
Your wages, benefits and job duties are affected, in part, by your classification and your job title. The
following are a few of the classifications that are used through this Handbook.
Regular Employee: All staff who have successfully completed an initial six-month trial period of
employment.
Temporary Employee: An employee who is hired with the expectation they will be employed for a
finite period of time, or on an intermittent or as needed basis, or to complete a specific project.
Full time Employee: All staff who are hired to work a predetermined schedule of at least 40 hours
per week.
4. Part-time Employee: An employee who is hired to work a predetermined schedule of less than
30 hours per week.
Exempt Employee: An employee who is paid a fixed salary on a weekly, monthly, or annual basis
rather than an hourly wage and meets the criteria for exclusion from the wage and hour laws (e.g.
managerial, administrative, professional). An exempt employee does not receive overtime for hours
worked over 40 hours per week.
Nonexempt Employee: An employee who is included in the minimum wage, overtime, and time
provisions of the wage hour laws. Such employees are eligible for overtime at the rate of one and
one-half times the regular rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in the work week or
more than 8 hours in a one calendar day.
