4.2 Employment Classifications

The Company designates all employees as either exempt or nonexempt in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local law:

  • Exempt Employees. Exempt employees are generally paid a fixed salary and are not entitled to overtime pay.
  • Nonexempt Employees. Nonexempt employees are entitled to minimum wage and overtime pay.

The Company also assigns each employee to one of the following categories:

  • Regular Full-Time Employees. Regular full-time employees are normally scheduled to work at least 30 hours per workweek, except for approved time off. Full-time employees are eligible for most Company benefits after 90 days. Occasionally, an employee's schedule may change from full-time to part-time. When this happens, the employee will maintain his full-time status for six weeks as long as the employee and his supervisor are actively pursuing full-time status.
  • Regular Part-Time Employees. Regular part-time employees are normally scheduled to work 29 hours or less per workweek. Part- time employees are not eligible for most Company benefits.
  • Interns. Interns are hired on a temporary basis in partnership with a qualifying educational institution. Interns are not eligible for most Company benefits.

You will be informed of your classification, status, and responsibilities at the time of hire and at any time your classification, status, or responsibilities change. If you have a question regarding this information, contact Human Resources at asnhrdepartment@supports.org. These classifications do not alter your employment at-will status.
