Employment Classifications

At the time you are hired, you are classified as either faculty or staff. The faculty consists of the Administration and Teachers. All of these are salaried employees. Staff members are classified as salaried, full-time, part-time or temporary employees. Please refer to information regarding benefits eligibility to determine what, if any, benefits you are entitled to. Policies described in this Manual and communicated by the School apply to all faculty and staff.

I. Faculty

• Administrative Faculty
• Teachers

II. Staff

Salaried

• Full-time (40 hours or more per week)
• Part-time (29 hours per week or less)

Hourly

• Full-time (40 hours or more per week)
• Part-time (29 hours per week or less)

After an approved leave of absence, a full-time faculty or staff member will work upon return as agreed in the provisions of the leave. Faculty and staff who work less than a regular twenty nine (29) hour work week are considered part-time.

Temporary Employees

From time to time, the School may hire faculty and staff for specific periods of time or for the completion of a specific project. An individual hired under these conditions will be considered a temporary employee. The job assignment, work schedule, and duration of the position will be determined on an individual basis. A temporary position will not exceed six (6) months in duration, unless specifically extended by a written agreement. Summer faculty and staff are considered temporary employees. Those temporary faculty and staff classified as "non-exempt" (see the definition that follows) who work more than twelve (12) hours in one day or more than forty (40) hours during any work week will receive overtime pay. All overtime work must be approved in advance by an authorized supervisor.

"Non-Exempt" and "Exempt" Faculty and Staff

On being hired, all faculty and staff are classified as either "exempt" or "non-exempt." This is necessary because, by law, employees and staff in certain types of jobs are entitled to overtime pay for hours worked in excess of twelve (12) hours per day or forty hours (40) per work week. These faculty and staff are referred to as "non-exempt" in this Manual. This means that they are not exempt from overtime pay and therefore must receive compensation for all hours worked and overtime pay for any hours worked over 40 in a work week.

Exempt faculty and staff include teachers, the Principal, various administrators, professional staff, technical staff and others whose duties and responsibilities allow them to be "exempt" from overtime pay provisions as provided by the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and any applicable state laws.If you are an exempt employee, you will be advised that you are in this classification at the time you are hired, transferred, or promoted.
