Types of Positions
Some positions are classified as Exempt, others as Non-Exempt. The Fair Labor Standards Act defines, in part, Exempt employees as employees paid a salary for carrying out a particular function over a period rather than completing tasks during a standard workweek.

Casual/Temporary:
