Non-Exempt Employees
- Since Non-exempt Employees are not exempt from the FLSA, the employer is required to compensate the individual at a rate of time and ½ for any hours worked over 40 hours in a work week.
- The workweek is defined as the 7 day work week defined by the employer. For UNM that is Saturday at 12:01 am to Friday at midnight. (With the exception of some positions that begin late on Fridays: see University Administrative Policy 3300, Paid Time.)
Exempt Employees
- Exempt employees are paid a salary to complete the job regardless of how long it takes.
