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 Guam Classification of Employees for Personnel Manual or Employee Handbook provides a comprehensive guide to understanding the various types of employees including Full Time, Part Time, Temporary, Leased, Exempt, and Nonexempt employees. This detailed description aims to explain each category and its corresponding characteristics, rights, and responsibilities. 1. Full-Time Employees: Full-time employees are individuals who work the standard number of hours specified by the company, typically 40 hours per week. They are entitled to receive all benefits offered by the employer, including health insurance, retirement plans, paid time off, and other additional perks. Full-time employees are expected to prioritize their job responsibilities, committing their professional efforts to the organization on a regular basis. 2. Part-Time Employees: Part-time employees work fewer hours than full-time employees, following a predetermined schedule defined by the company. Part-time employees are often considered to be working less than 40 hours per week. While they enjoy the flexibility of reduced working hours, part-time employees might receive a proportionate share of benefits and compensation compared to full-time staff. 3. Temporary Employees: Temporary employees are hired to fulfill specific job roles for a limited period, typically to cover short-term staffing needs or seasonal demands. They might be hired directly by the company or through a staffing agency. Temporary employees are typically not eligible for the same benefits as full-time or part-time employees, and their employment is usually terminated once their assigned tasks are completed. 4. Leased Employees: Leased employees are individuals who are employed by a third-party leasing company and then assigned to work for another organization on a temporary basis. In this arrangement, the leasing company handles employment-related tasks such as payroll, taxes, and benefits, while the organization utilizing the leased employees typically supervises their day-to-day job duties. Leased employees may have different benefits and employment conditions compared to regular employees. 5. Exempt Employees: Exempt employees are typically salaried employees who are excluded from certain wage and hour provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLEA). They are exempt from receiving overtime pay for hours worked over 40 hours per week. Exempt employees are generally classified as professionals, executives, administrative staff, or outside sales representatives who meet specific criteria defined by the FLEA. 6. Nonexempt Employees: Nonexempt employees are individuals who are entitled to receive overtime pay for any hours worked beyond the standard 40 hours per week. Nonexempt employees are usually hourly workers who do not meet the criteria for exemption under the FLEA. Their compensation is calculated based on the number of hours worked, including any overtime hours. These classifications might vary across organizations, so it is essential to familiarize oneself with the specific guidelines outlined in the Guam Classification of Employees for Personnel Manual or Employee Handbook to understand the rights, benefits, and expectations associated with each category accordingly.
