Non-Exempt Status Employees
Non-exempt status refers to an employee who is paid based on the type of work performed. Non-exempt employees are paid by the hour for all time worked and are required to account for all time worked as well as the use of sick, vacation, and other leave time. Non-exempt employees are entitled to overtime pay at a rate of not less than one-and-one-half times their regular hourly rate of pay after 40 hours of work in a given workweek.
Exempt Status Employees
Exempt status is determined by how an employee is paid, how much an employee is paid, and the kind of work an employee performs. Generally, exempt employees are compensated on a salary basis. The nature of exempt positions may require employees to work more than regularly scheduled hours in a given work week. Exempt employees are not eligible for overtime pay, not covered by the overtime pay provisions of the federal FLSA, nor subject to a reduction in pay based on quality or quantity of work.
