All employees are designated as either non-exempt or exempt from federal and state wage and hour laws. Non-exempt employees are covered by specific provisions of the wage and hour laws, including overtime pay. Exempt employees are excluded from specific provisions of the wage and hour laws, including the overtime provisions. Generally, exempt employees are engaged in managerial, professional, administrative, or executive positions and are paid on a salaried basis. It is our policy to fully comply with federal and state wage and hour laws. In keeping with this commitment, we will pay exempt employees their full salary (or salary plus vacation to equal the amount of the full salary) for any workweek in which they perform work, regardless of the number of days or hours worked, subject only to deductions that are permitted by law. Full day deductions from pay that are permitted by law include, for example, deductions for personal time off, sick days before or after eligibility for paid sick leave, or for infractions of written workplace conduct rules including but not limited to any rule or policy set forth in this Handbook. Full or partial day deductions may be made from the salaries of exempt employees for infractions of safety rules of major significance and in certain other limited circumstances.
