What are the differences between exempt and nonexempt positions?
Nonexempt positions are subject to the minimum wage and overtime pay provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act. At the university, this includes all of our maintenance, office, service, and technical/para-professional staff. Nonexempt employees must be paid overtime for hours worked that exceed 40 hours in the standard workweek; for University of Maryland nonexempt staff, this includes all time in a pay status during the standard workweek (including paid leave).Exempt positions are salaried positions that are not subject to the minimum wage and overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (i.e., executive, managerial, and professional). Exempt employees are expected to work the hours necessary to complete assignments on a schedule that satisfies the requirements of the job, typically a minimum of 80 hours in a bi-weekly pay period for a full-time employee. Exempt employees are not eligible to receive overtime.
