Supervisors should be aware of whether their employees are covered under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Information on the Position Description identifies positions as EXEMPT or NONEXEMPT. The FLSA provides for minimum standards for both wages and overtime entitlements and specifies administrative procedures by which covered work-time must be compensated.

Term definitions are:

• NONEXEMPT - Covered by the Act
  
  
• EXEMPT - Not Covered by the Act

FLSA status, assigned by a personnelist in the servicing personnel office, is based on the type of position (e.g., executive, administrative, professional, technical, clerical, and other) and the nature of the duties and responsibilities of the position.

For additional information regarding the impact of FLSA determinations with respect to overtime compensation refer to Hours of Duty, Work Schedules, and Compensation (Special Pay Entitlements).
