How Paychecks Work
Timekeeping, Payroll and Overtime
You may be paid on an hourly basis or a salary basis. You are also classified as either exempt or non-
exempt for purposes of determining overtime eligibility, i.e., when you work more than 40 hours per
week, and whether you will receive deductions from pay when you do not work. Human Resources will
advise each employee as to their exempt/non-exempt status in their offer letter and job description.

The work week runs from Saturday through Friday and you are paid bi-weekly. Hourly employees are
paid one week in arrears and salaried employees are paid in real time. Payment is made by direct
deposit to the financial institution of your choice.

Employees need to complete their timesheet every day and submit a completed timesheet for approval
immediately following the completion of the workweek.

Time is reported on the minute and needs to be an accurate reflection of hours actually worked. If it
becomes necessary to change a timecard entry, use the Change Request function in UKG to request the
change.
Hourly and Non-Exempt Employees
“Report what you work, work what you report” is our golden rule for timekeeping at GreenPoint Ag. All
hourly and non-exempt employees must keep accurate time records. This applies whether you are
scheduled to work full-time, part-time, seasonally, or temporarily.

Unless an employee qualifies for the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) exemption, any hours worked
above 40 hours per week (overtime) will be paid at one and one-half times the regular rate as captured
in that week’s timesheet. Any overtime worked by non-exempt employees needs to be approved by a
manager in advance.

Exempt Employees
Employees classified as exempt, will receive a salary, which is intended to compensate for all hours that
the employee may work for GreenPoint Ag, regardless of the number of hours worked in a given week.
This salary will be established at the time of hire or when you become classified as an exempt employee.
While it may be subject to review and modification from time to time, such as during salary review
times, the salary will be a predetermined amount that will not be subject to deductions for variations in
the quantity or quality of the work performed. Exempt salaried employees are not eligible for regular
overtime pay.

Please note: Exempt employees will be required to use accrued paid time off for full- or partial-day
absences for personal reasons or sickness. However, employees’ weekly salary will not be reduced for
partial day absences if they do not have accrued paid time off. Note that certain limited deductions are
permitted by law.

Deductions from Pay
GreenPoint Ag is legally required to make certain deductions from your pay for taxes and other
deductions, which the company may take without consent under applicable state or federal law. We
may also deduct money from pay from time to time for reasons that fall into such categories as
