1. Administrator (Executive)
The status of administrator is assigned to those academic and administrative positions
which involve major responsibility for management of the University, e.g. the president,
vice presidents, deans, associate deans, and directors of major administrative units. This
includes those administrators in charge of a principal business unit, division or function
(such as marketing, administration or finance), or any other administrator who performs a
university-wide policy making function. Administrative employees are defined as exempt
from the minimum wage, overtime, and record keeping provisions of the Fair Labor
Standards Act.
2. Faculty
The Faculty of the University comprises all persons holding academic rank whose
principal responsibility at Marymount University is to provide or administer academic
instruction or services, for 9 (nine), ten (10), or twelve (12) months of the year. Members
of the faculty are divided into three areas: those whose principal responsibility is teaching
and designing courses and curricula and advising students; those whose principal
responsibilities are administering academic programs and courses of studies of enrolled
students; those whose principal responsibilities are providing library and learning
services.
3. Other Administrative or Professional Employees
Professional exempt employees are degreed staff who perform highly specialized
duties within a department. Work is performed under general supervision and requires
special training, experience, or knowledge. To be classified as Professional Exempt, an
employee’s principal duties must involve performing non-manual work in a position
requiring knowledge of an advanced type in a field of learning, or work requiring
invention, imagination, or talent in a recognized field of artistic endeavor. Administrative
employees are exempt if their primary duty is the performance of office or nonmanual
work directly related to the management and general business operations of
the University, which involves the exercise of discretion and independent judgment
with respect to matters of significance. In general, employees working in exempt
administrative positions customarily and regularly exercise independent judgment and
discretion more than 50% of the time. The administrative duties must not include routine
or structured tasks such as bookkeeping, data entry, or clerical duties.
4. Computer-related
Computer-related exempt employees are staff, usually degreed, who function as computer
systems analysts or software engineers who primarily perform certain professional level
designated computer programming and/or systems-related tasks.
