The following definitions have been established to standardize terminology and provide common understanding in our references to employees.

Employee:
A person who receives wages or salary from LCS and whose work LCS controls and directs.

Full-time Employees:
Employees who regularly work 30 hours weekly and who maintain continuous regular employment status. Regular, full-time employees are eligible for benefits offered by LCS.

Part-Time Employees:
Those employees who regularly work less than 30 hours weekly and who maintain continuous regular part- time employee status. Part-time employees regularly working less than 40 hours per week may be eligible for certain benefits offered by LCS.

Temporary Employees:
Temporary employees are those whose services are intended to be for a short period of time or of limited duration, or for any indefinite period when there is no intent by LCS to provide regular status. LCS may either hire temporary employees directly or may use an agency to supply temporary employees. Temporary employees are not eligible for benefits. If a temporary employee is subsequently hired as a regular full-time or part-time employee, date of hire will be determined by the date on which the employee becomes a regular employee.

Regular Employees:
Those employees whose services are intended to be for an indefinite period and work regularly scheduled hours on an ongoing basis in either a full-time or part-time capacity.

Exempt Employees:
Executive, administrative, and professional employees (includes teachers) who are exempt as defined by the Fair Labor Standards Act. Exempt employees are not eligible to receive overtime payment.

Non-Exempt Employees:
Employees who are not exempt from the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act and must work the designated hours, not to include overtime unless authorized by the supervisor.
