Regular Employees
Regular employees are those individuals who have
been hired to fill authorized permanent positions in the
University from budgeted funds.
Regular employees may be either:
1. Full-Time Employees
Employees hired to work a schedule of 30 or
more hours per week.
2. Part-Time Employees
Employees hired to work a schedule of less
than 30 hours per week.
Regular full-time or part-time employees are
designated as either NONEXEMPT or EXEMPT
based on federal and state wage and hour laws.
NONEXEMPT employees are paid on an hourly basis
and are entitled to overtime pay under the specific
provisions of federal and state wage and hour laws.
EXEMPT employees are paid an annual salary and are
excluded from specific provisions of federal and state
wage and hour laws. An employee’s NONEXEMPT
or EXEMPT classification may be changed only upon
written notification by University management.
