Job classifications

Regular Full-time: The position is expected to continue from year to year, for a minimum work schedule of 30 hours per week, for at least 9 months per fiscal year.
Regular Part-time: The position is approved for less than 30 hours per week schedule. Part-time employees with an appointment of at least one-year.
Temporary: The position is expected to terminate within a year. Not eligible for any benefits.
Non-exempt positions (hourly pay rate): The term “non-exempt” is used to describe employees who are not exempt from the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act, which states that these employees must be compensated at the rate of time and one-half for hours worked over 40 per week.
Exempt (salaried positions): Employees are generally considered “exempt” when they occupy administrative, managerial, and professional positions. Administrative employees are “exempt” from the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), and are not eligible for overtime pay. For a position to qualify as exempt, the FLSA regulations state that the employee’s primary duties must include “the exercise of discretion and independent judgment with respect to matters of significance.” The FLSA further describes these traits as “having authority to waive or deviate from established policies and procedures without prior approval”; and the term “matters of significance” refers to the level of importance or consequences of the work performed.
