Annual Renewal of non-US Citizen Paperwork

CompensationGeneral Associates

• Employees with Exempt duties, but do not work enough hours to earn $445/week or $23,660/year.

• CI (If and When or Temp) employees only

Background• Exempt employees must be paid on a salary, not

by the hour• 2004 FLSA regulations require minimum salary of

$23,660 to be exempted from overtime.• Minimum salary exists with no pro-rating allowed,

regardless of FTE• Result: the lower the hours worked, the more

likely the salary will fall below $23,660.

Exempt C-1 Employees

Cannot be “docked” for the quality or quantity oftheir work

They can be: • Paid for completed “deliverables”• Paid a salary based on regularly occurring percent

of time• If that salary is below $23,660, use the General

Associate

General Associate

• Is a title for temporary jobs • Has no min qualifications of its own; employees

must meet min quals of a standard Exempt job• Has a pay range that’s the hourly equivalent of

any salary in the Exempt structure• Is an expansion of the General Assistant which is

for temporary NEX jobs• Note: in some cases, an existing NEX title could

solve the issue

Examples:

• A 50% Research Nurse will earn $20,000 per year (actual earnings). By law, they cannot be hired as an Exempt employee

Solution: NEX Nurse Research I will work in this case, and the person should be hired in this title.

• A 25% Nurse Practitioner will earn $20,000 annually (actual earnings)

Solution: General Associate at $40/hour ($20,000 annualized to $80,000 and then reduced to hourly of $40/hour)

What are the documents needed at time of hire?

• Hire packet

• CI agreement

• Employee Action Form

IMPORTANT:

• In EAF “Comments” section, indicate the Exempt title a person would be in, if they were to work enough hours to qualify under FLSA.

• The new hire must meet minimum qualifications for that Exempt title

Next Steps

• Review all your CI employees; terminate inactive employees

• Review current General Assistants to see if General Associate is a better fit

• At the 1 year renewal time, change Exempt “Assistants” to “Associates”
