How to I determine the difference between an exempt and non-exempt salary employee? |
How to I determine the difference between an exempt and non-exempt salary employee? Visit www.dol.gov and look for information on the "salary basis rule." You are correct, there is a classification for salaried non-exempt employees. The rules for assigning certain jobs to specific classes - exempt, non-ex, and hourly - have to do with the level of the job, number of people supervised, educational requirements for the position, amount of independent discretion/judgment permitted, and so on. You need to determine which exemption you plan to use - administrative, technical, computer specialities, traveling salesperson, etc. - and then determine if the position under consideration meets those requirements. Good luck! Source(s): www.dol.gov www.shrm.org www.humanresources.org www.employersgroup.com difference? well to start with "exempt" is salaried .. typically this means the get paid same for 40 or more (or less hours) per week whereas non-exempt typically make hourly wage + overtime .. though often there are differences in benefits as in stock options etc too ... Exempt employees are paid a salary, regardless of how little or much they work they are paid the same rate. Non- exempt employees are paid hourly. do you mean exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act? exempt employees are exempt from some labor laws like overtime pay and are usually compensated for that with free health insurance, higher salaries, and other incentives. they are salaried and not hourly. they can be fired without the same disciplinary steps required for someone who is non-exempt. To my understanding, exempt employees are exempt from overtime pay, doubletime pay...etc, ie: no matter how many hours they work, they get paid the same. As non-exempt, they will get paid for the hours they work, and they are entitled to overtime & doubletime if they work more than 40 a week. |
