5.3 Exempt and Non-Exempt Employees

Your entitlement to earn overtime pay depends on whether you are classified as an exempt or a non-exempt employee.

Exempt Employees: those who do not earn overtime because they are exempt from the overtime provisions of state and federal Fair Labor Standards Act and other applicable state laws.

Non-exempt Employees: those who can earn overtime because they meet the criteria of the overtime provisions of state and federal Fair Labor Standards Act and other applicable state laws.

Your job description and employment agreement states whether you are an exempt or non-exempt employee. If you are uncertain about which category applies to you, speak to your direct supervisor or a member of our Human Resources Department.
