What is the definition of Non-Exempt and Exempt status?

Non-Exempt Employees: Non-exempt positions are subject to the overtime rule, and employees must typically be paid at least one and one-half times their regular rate of pay for any hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. Non-exempt employees at UCF must complete submit their time for each pay period, to accurately document their time worked.  

Exempt Employees: The FLSA provides an exemption from its overtime pay requirements for certain positions and duties. Employees whose duties meet the tests for exemption are commonly referred to as “exempt” employees. This means that the overtime provisions of the FLSA do not apply to those positions, and employees within these positions are not eligible for overtime. It is important to note that exempt status must be determined based on the duties for a job. Titles alone are not sufficient to determine the status of a position under the FLSA.
