All employees will be designated as either full-time or part-time, faculty, coach or staff, and their positions will be designated as either exempt or non-exempt.
Faculty and Staff
Staff members are those School employees for whom their primary responsibility is administrative or support but not classroom instruction. All Staff members are employed by the school on an at-will basis. Faculty members are those School employees who hold agreements and for whom their primary responsibility is classroom instruction. The term faculty includes those who instruct in the arts but not for coaching positions. Coaches are those school employees for whom their primary responsibility is working with student athletes through P.E. or school athletic programs. All employees are offered employment agreements by the HOS.
Non-Exempt and Exempt
Based on the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and corresponding State regulations, all positions will be designated either “exempt” or “non-exempt.”
Non-exempt positions are eligible for overtime pay, and all employees in these positions must record their hours worked daily using the timesheet (or similar record-keeping process) provided by the school.
Exempt positions are not eligible for overtime pay. Exempt positions are paid on a salaried basis, and the amount of pay generally does not vary based on the number of hours worked during the week.
All part-time employees, whether holding a non-exempt or an exempt position must record their hours worked daily using the timesheet (or similar record-keeping process) provided by the school.
For these purposes, the employee’s work hours will not be limited to time in the classroom or on the court or field but should also include any time spent related to the role and position as defined in his/her agreement and job description. This might include lesson preparation, grading, research, leading pre-season camps, meeting with colleagues, coaching staff and/or students and parents, etc.
