Each employee is designated as either NONEXEMPT or EXEMPT from federal and state wage and hour laws. NONEXEMPT employees are entitled to overtime pay under the specific provisions of federal and state laws. EXEMPT employees are excluded from specific provisions of federal and state wage and hour laws. An employee's EXEMPT or NONEXEMPT classification may be changed only upon written notification by FreedomPark management.
In addition to the above categories, each employee will belong to one other employment category:
REGULAR FULL-TIME employees are those who are not in a temporary or introductory status and who are regularly scheduled to work FreedomPark's full-time
schedule, and who are paid a salary (non-hourly). Generally, they are eligible for FreedomPark's benefit package, subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations of each benefit program.
HOURLY employees are those who are scheduled to work either full-time or
part-time, and are paid a per hour wage.
INTRODUCTORY employees are those whose performance is being evaluated to determine whether further employment in a specific position or with FreedomPark is appropriate. Employees who satisfactorily complete the introductory period will be notified of their new employment classification.
CASUAL employees are those who have established an employment relationship with FreedomPark but who are assigned to work on an intermittent and/or unpredictable basis. While they receive all legally mandated benefits (such as workers' compensation insurance and Social Security), they are ineligible for all of FreedomPark's other benefit programs.
