HR Glossary
What is Non-Exempt Employee?
A worker covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act's (FLSA) overtime and minimum wage provisions, meaning the employer must pay at least federal minimum wage for all hours worked and 1.5 times the regular rate for every hour exceeding 40 in a workweek.
Why it matters in hiring
Non-Exempt Employee comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
