EMPLOYEE CLASSIFICATIONS
TEMPORARY EMPLOYEES
Periodically, it becomes necessary for us to hire individuals for a client to perform a job or to
work on a project that has a limited duration. Typically, this happens in the event of a special
project, special time of year, abnormal workload, or emergency.
Individuals whom we hire for such work are temporary employees and are eligible to
participate in some of our Company benefit programs.
Temporary employees will be provided all benefits mandated by law.
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
These individuals are not employees of Temporary Solutions, Inc. and are either self- employed
or work for a third-party vendor. An independent contractor is engaged to perform a task
according to his or her own methods and is subject to control and direction by Temporary
Solutions, Inc. or client only as to the results to be accomplished. Independent contractors are
not entitled to benefits.
EXEMPT AND NONEXEMPT EMPLOYEES
Your entitlement to earn overtime pay depends on whether you are classified as an exempt or
a nonexempt employee.
Exempt employees are those who do not earn overtime because they are exempt from the
overtime provisions of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and applicable state laws.
Nonexempt employees are those who meet the criteria for being covered by the overtime
provisions of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and applicable state laws.
If you are uncertain about which category you fall into, speak to your Staffing Specialist.
