(B) Employees occupying full-time positions will be entitled to benefits provided by the city. All other categories of employment will not be entitled to benefits except those required by state or federal laws unless recommended by the Mayor and approved by the City Council.
(C) (1) The city designates all employment positions as either “exempt” or “nonexempt” based on applicable federal and state laws and regulations. The classifications are for the purpose of determining whether overtime compensation is due to the employee for any time worked in excess of 40 hours in a single workweek. Classifications of positions are reviewed by the Mayor in consultation with the City Attorney at the time of position creation or modification and on an annual basis to ensure legal compliance.
(2) As used in this handbook, the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
EXEMPT EMPLOYEE. A salaried employee in a position whose duties and responsibilities render the employee exempt from the overtime requirements of the FLSA and state wage and hour laws. An EXEMPT EMPLOYEE is not eligible for additional compensation for working in excess of 40 hours in a workweek under the city’s overtime policy established in §§ 36.120 through 36.130.
NONEXEMPT EMPLOYEE. An employee in a position whose duties and responsibilities require overtime compensation for any time worked in excess of 40 hours in any workweek pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FSLA) and state wage and hour laws. The additional overtime compensation for nonexempt employees is calculated under the city’s overtime policy established in §§ 36.120 through 36.130.
