Description

The following form contains explanations of the classification of employees for personnel or employee manual or handbook regarding full time, part-time, temporary, leased, exempt, and non-exempt employees. The Arizona Classification of Employees for Personnel Manual or Employee Handbook provides comprehensive information and guidelines regarding employee classifications, including Full Time, Part Time, Temporary, Leased, Exempt, and Nonexempt Employees. Here is a detailed description of each classification: 1. Full-Time Employees: Full-time employees are individuals who work a standard number of hours per week, usually 40 hours. They are eligible for the full range of employee benefits offered by the organization, such as health insurance, retirement plans, vacation and sick leave, and other perks. Full-time employees are typically hired for an indefinite duration and form a vital part of the regular workforce. 2. Part-Time Employees: Part-time employees work fewer hours per week compared to full-time employees. The number of hours may vary depending on the employer's policies and requirements, but it is generally less than 40 hours. Part-time employees may still be eligible for certain benefits, although they are often prorated based on the number of hours worked. These employees provide flexibility to the organization and may have working schedules tailored to their availability. 3. Temporary Employees: Temporary employees, also known as seasonal or contract workers, are hired for a specific period or purpose. They are often brought in to cover for regular employees' absences, assist during busy periods, or work on short-term projects. Temporary employees may not receive the same benefits as full-time or part-time employees, but they are entitled to applicable labor rights and protections during their employment. 4. Leased Employees: Leased employees are individuals who work for an organization but are employed by a staffing agency or leasing company. While the staffing agency handles administrative tasks such as payroll and benefits, the leased employee performs their duties under the direction and supervision of the organization's management. In this arrangement, the employer retains control over the leased employee's work, but the leasing company handles HR-related matters. 5. Exempt Employees: Exempt employees are generally exempt from certain provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLEA), such as minimum wage and overtime requirements. They typically hold managerial, professional, or administrative positions, and their exemption is based on their job responsibilities and meeting specific criteria outlined by state and federal laws. Exempt employees often receive a fixed salary and have more flexible work hours compared to nonexempt employees. 6. Nonexempt Employees: Nonexempt employees, also referred to as hourly employees, are entitled to receive the protections of the FLEA, including minimum wage, overtime pay, and other labor rights. They are typically paid on an hourly basis and must be compensated for all time worked, including any overtime hours. Nonexempt employees generally perform non-managerial or non-professional tasks and have more rigid work schedules. It is important to note that the Arizona Classification of Employees for Personnel Manual or Employee Handbook may have additional classifications or specifications beyond the ones mentioned above. Employers should consult the specific guidelines outlined in their respective handbooks to understand the precise classification requirements and corresponding benefits applicable to their organization.
