what is a non exempt employee?

Answer 1

"Non-exempt employees receive hourly wages; they are subject to wage and hour laws, i.e. overtime pay; usually applies to non-professional employees."

Answer 2

A non exempt employee is an employee that is not exempt (salaried), they are paid by the hour. They fall under the FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) for overtime laws.

An exempt employee is paid for a set time, like a week or month. They can work 70 hours a week and still get paid their salary unless the company has agreed to pay them a bonus for overtime.

Answer 3

An exempt employee is one who is exempt from certain laws, most particularly overtime pay. Generally, the only way a person can be exempt is if they are paid weekly (or in larger increments) for their work.

An non-exempt employee, on the other hand, not only CAN recieve overtime pay but MUST recieve it if they work longer than certain time periods.

This causes most employers to be more careful about whether a non-exempt employee happens to be working and when. Those exempt ones, however, may regularly be asked to work long hours and odd days. Usually the exempt ones are also considered to be much more permanent fixtures as well, so there are compensations for being exempt, of a sort.

Answer 4

Exempt and non-exempt usually refers to whether they are paid overtime. I am an exempt salaried employee. That means I get a set salary no matter how many hours I work per week. a non-exempt salaried employee would get paid a salary based on a certain number of hours per week. For example it might be for 35-40 hours per week. If they go over the 40 hours they would still be eligible for overtime.

Answer 5

A non-exempt employee is one who is covered by the federal wage and hour laws (FLSA - Fair Labor Standards Act), and must be paid overtime at time and a half if they work over 40 hours a week. Most of the time, these are hourly employees, but can be salaried if their weekly salary is less than $455 per week even if they have supervisory responsibilities.

Answer 6
