(A) The city employees fall into one of the following classifications:
(1) FULL-TIME. Any employee who is assigned to work for the city on a regular basis for 35 hours or more per week.
(2) PART-TIME. Any employee who is assigned to work for the city on a regular basis for fewer than 35 hours per week.
(3) TEMPORARY. Any employee who is hired as a temporary replacement for a full-time or part-time employee, or for a short period of time until a specific task is performed. Seasonal employees, hired in periods such as summer months, peak periods, and vacation, are considered temporary employees.
(B) Employees will be either exempt or nonexempt for the purposes of the overtime requirements of state law and the federal Fair Labor Standards Act:
(1) EXEMPT. Exempt employees, as defined by the Fair Labor Standards Act, are employed in certain administrative, executive, professional, technical, or outside sales categories and are specifically exempted from overtime payment considerations. The hours worked by exempt employees are often irregular and may begin and end beyond the normal workday. Exempt employees do not receive overtime pay.
(2) NONEXEMPT. Nonexempt employees, as defined by the Fair Labor Standards Act, are expected to confine their work to the normal workday and workweek unless a member of management authorizes overtime in advance. The city will pay nonexempt employees overtime at one-and-one- half times their regular hourly rate for all hours worked over 40 hours per week (refer to the overtime section in this handbook).
