How Jobs are Classified - Staff

TCU uses a job code numbering system designed to classify jobs into categories.
These categories are –

Job Code Number Description  FLSA Category *
1xxxx  Executive, administrative responsibilities Exempt
2xxxx  Teaching responsibilities Exempt
3xxxx Professional level responsibilities Exempt
4xxxx Technical, paraprofessional responsibilities Nonexempt
5xxxx Clerical responsibilities Nonexempt
6xxxx Crafts and Trades responsibilities Nonexempt
7xxxx Services responsibilities Nonexempt

* Exception to the exempt Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) category is if the job does not pay a minimum of  $455 per week or $23,660 annually, by law, it is not eligible for an exempt level classification.

Each job is evaluated for an FLSA cateory according to the guidelines set out in the FLSA regulations.

What does “exempt” mean?  When a job is exempt from the FLSA, it means that any employee in that job is not entitled to the benefits and protections of the FLSA, and TCU is not subject to its rules for that employee.  That means that an exempt employee does not have to be paid minimum wage or paid in accordance with the overtime requirements specified by the FLSA.

What does nonexempt mean?  When a job is classified as nonexempt, it means that any employee in that job is entitled to a minimum wage, overtime pay at the rate of time and one-half the regular rate for all hours worked in excess of 40 hour per week, as well as other protections under child labor and equal pay, as prescribed by the FLSA.
