It is important that you understand the definitions of the employment classifications at the Tri-County Board and know your classification. The reason is because your employment classification helps determine your employment status and what benefits you are eligible for. If you have questions or are not sure what your employment classification is, see your supervisor.
Depending on your job, you are either Non-Exempt or Exempt from federal and state wage and hour laws. If you are a Non-Exempt employee, you are entitled to overtime pay under the specific provisions of federal and state laws. If you are an Exempt employee, you are excluded from specific provisions of federal and state wage and hour laws. Your Exempt or Non-Exempt classification may be changed only with written notification by the Executive Director.
In addition to being a Nonexempt or Exempt employee, you also belong to one of the following employment categories:
You are a full-time employee if you are not assigned to a temporary or probationary status and you are regularly scheduled to work at least 35 hours per week. In most cases, full-time employees are eligible for all Tri-County Board benefit programs, subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations of each benefit program.
You are a regular part-time employee if you are not in a temporary or probationary status and you are regularly scheduled to work less than the full-time work schedule. Regular part-time employees are eligible for some Tri-County benefit programs, subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations of each benefit program.
You are a probationary employee if your performance is being evaluated to determine whether further employment in a specific position or with the Tri-County Board is appropriate. When you satisfactorily complete the probationary period, you will be given written notice about your new employment classification. Failure of notice shall not change your employment status.
