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 New Hampshire Classification of Employees for Personnel Manual or Employee Handbook provides a comprehensive breakdown of various employee classifications, including full-time, part-time, temporary, leased, exempt, and nonexempt employees. Understanding these classifications is essential for both employers and employees to ensure compliance with labor laws and to establish clear expectations regarding benefits and work hours. 1. Full-Time Employees: Full-time employees are individuals who work a standard number of hours per week, typically 35 hours or more, as defined by the employer. They are entitled to standard employment benefits such as paid time off, healthcare coverage, and retirement plans. 2. Part-Time Employees: Part-time employees work fewer hours than the standard allotted for full-time employees. The exact number of hours required to be classified as a part-time employee may vary depending on the employer. Part-time employees may receive limited benefits or have access to flexible work arrangements. 3. Temporary Employees: Temporary employees are hired for a specific period or until the completion of a specific project. They are typically brought in to cover short-term needs or provide support during peak work periods. Temporary employees may not be entitled to the same benefits as full-time or part-time employees. 4. Leased Employees: Leased employees, also known as contract employees, are typically employed by a third-party staffing agency and assigned to work at another organization. These employees remain on the staffing agency's payroll but work under the direction and supervision of the organization they are assigned to. Leased employees may have a separate contract outlining their terms of employment. 5. Exempt Employees: Exempt employees are those who are exempt from certain provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLEA), including overtime pay. They typically hold executive, administrative, or professional positions and are compensated on a salaried basis rather than on an hourly wage. Exempt employees often have a higher level of responsibility, autonomy, and decision-making authority within their roles. 6. Nonexempt Employees: Nonexempt employees are entitled to receive overtime pay and must be compensated for all hours worked. These employees are subject to the minimum wage and maximum hour requirements set by the FLEA. Nonexempt employees are typically hourly workers and are eligible for time-and-a-half pay when they work more than 40 hours in a workweek. It is important for employers to clearly define these classifications in their Personnel Manual or Employee Handbook to establish guidelines for employment, benefits, compensation, work hours, and overtime. Employers should consult with legal professionals and review relevant state and federal labor laws to ensure compliance when creating or updating these manuals.
