Classifications Affecting Payroll
Northwestern
Health Sciences University has established various employment
categories and levels of employment that affect compensation
for its employees. The University will make an effort to
inform employees of ways in which employment category affects
such aspects of the employment relationship.
The University classifies employees'
eligibility for overtime, in accordance
with the federal Fair Labor Standards Act:
- Exempt
employees are those who
may work in executive, professional, administrative or computer
positions as defined by the University. These employees
are paid on a salaried basis and receive a pre-determined
compensation regardless of the number of hours worked per
week. Exempt employees are not paid overtime.
- Non
exempt employees are those
in all other positions. These employees may be regular full-time,
regular part-time, part-time or temporary. Non-exempt employees
are paid on an hourly basis, and will be paid overtime in
accordance with federal and state law. (See Overtime section).
Employees will be informed of
their initial employment classification, level and status
of exempt or non-exempt at the time of their job offer and/or
during their orientation session.
If
the employee changes positions during employment as a result
of a promotion, transfer or otherwise, the Human
Resources Department will inform the employee
of any change in their classification, level and/or exemption
status.
Employees
who have questions about the employment category for their
position should contact Jeff
Graham @ Human Resources.
