As a general matter, the classification of a position will dictate the eligibility of the employee who holds that position for benefits purposes and the anticipated duration of the position.
Full-Time Regular
Full-time regular employees are hired to work the College's normal, full-time 40 hour work week on a regular basis. Such employees may be exempt or nonexempt as defined below. Full-time regular employees are eligible for time off benefits and insurance benefits, as described in this Handbook. Employees may be hired to work full time but for on a limited term basis, i.e., not a renewable employment appointment.
Part-Time Regular
Part-time regular employees are hired to work between 20 and 39 hours per week on a regular basis. Such employees may be exempt or nonexempt as defined below. Part-time regular employees are eligible for time off benefits on a pro rata basis and may purchase health and other insurances similar to those offered to a Full-time regular employee. Employees working less than 20 hours on a consistent basis are not eligible for benefits.
Temporary
Temporary employees are those hired to complete a specific project or hired for a limited period of time (generally no more than 6 months) with the understanding that this employment will be terminated upon completion of the assignment or at the end of the specified period of time. Temporary employees are not eligible to participate in the benefits or leave program of the College. A temporary employee may be offered and may accept a new temporary assignment and still retain temporary status. (Note that employees placed through a temporary employment agency for specific assignments are employees of that agency, not the College). Additionally, all employees hired for less than 20 hours of work per week are considered temporary regardless of the duration of their employment.
Exempt
An exempt employee is not required to be paid overtime under applicable laws for work in excess of forty hours per week. Such an employee typically serves in an executive, administrative, professional or certain types of computer services positions. Exempt employees are expected to work a sufficient number of hours to complete the assigned work tasks and cover related evening or weekend duties as needed or required. Exempt employees are generally paid on a monthly basis.
Non-Exempt
A non-exempt employee is required to be paid overtime under applicable federal and state wage and hour laws. Non-exempt employees are paid one and one-half times their regular rate for actual hours of work in excess of forty hours per week or hours worked on the seventh consecutive day of any workweek (Sunday through Saturday). Non-exempt employees are paid on a biweekly basis.
You will be informed of your initial employment classification and of your status as an exempt or non-exempt employee during your orientation session. If you change positions during your employment as a result of a promotion, transfer, or otherwise, you will be informed by the Office of People Services of any change in your exemption status.
Please direct any questions regarding your employment classification or exemption status to the Office of People Services.
