WAGE ADMINISTRATION
1. COMPENSATION
Compensation consists of all wages and benefits paid by employers to employees for
work performed. The payment of compensation is regulated by a variety of federal and
state laws. One of these federal laws, the Fair Labor Standards Act, addresses hours of
work and overtime pay requirements. When we refer to "exempt" or "non-exempt"
employees, we are referring to their classification under the Fair Labor Standards Act. As
a result, employees are classified in one of three ways:
1. Weekly Paid Non-Exempt: Weekly Paid Non-Exempt employees are covered
by the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act. An accurate record of actual
hours worked must be maintained for these employees, and payment of overtime
is required by law. Because of the requirement that the Company keep an
accurate record of actual hours worked by all non-exempt employees, your
supervisor will inform you how time is tracked.
2. Bi-Weekly Paid Non-Exempt: Bi-Weekly Paid Non-exempt employees are
covered by the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act. An accurate record of
actual hours worked must be maintained for these employees, and payment of
overtime is required by law. Because of the requirement that the Company keep
an accurate record of actual hours worked by all non-exempt employees, your
supervisor will inform you how time is tracked.
3. Bi-Weekly Paid Exempt: Bi-Weekly Paid Exempt employees are excluded from
coverage of the minimum wage and overtime provisions of the Fair Labor
Standards Act. The responsibilities of employees in this classification usually are
considered to be of an administrative, managerial or professional nature. Exempt
employees are required to complete accurate records for use of vacation.
2. WORK WEEK
For payroll accounting purposes, the work week begins on Sunday and ends on
Saturday. Full time employees normally are scheduled for forty (40) hours during the
work week. Employees assigned to twelve (12) hour schedules will have a different
standard work week.
Starting time and length of day will vary according to the operation of the department
or function where you work. Full-time non-exempt employees who work more than Wage
forty (40) hours during any work week will be paid overtime pay of time and one-half Administration
(1-1/2) of the regular rate for all actual hours worked in excess of forty (40). P a g e | 7
3. NON-EXEMPT TIMEKEEPING RECORD RESPONSIBILITIES
Time records generated by the computerized timekeeping system used by non-
exempt employees are official company documents. Do not clock in or clock out
using another employee’s badge or allow someone else to clock in or clock out using
your badge. Violations will result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.
Report any irregularity or tampering with your badge to your supervisor immediately.
