Job ID Job Title Recruiter 0000105686 Manager Public Relations MMAGEE ---------------------- Forwarded by Felecia Acevedo/Corp/Enron on 11/29/2000 12:55 PM --------------------------- From: Felecia Acevedo 11/28/2000 03:13 PM To: David Oxley/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Sheila Knudsen/Corp/Enron@ENRON, Michelle Cash/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: Exempt Job Postings David: Your organization currently has seven job postings for Exempt positions that mention overtime requirements. It is recommended that overtime requirements be used for non-exempt jobs only. The use of overtime in association with exempt jobs could be a risk in the case of a Department of Labor Wage and Hour audit. Exempt means that the employee is exempt from overtime calculations. Exempt employees are paid on a "salary basis" --this means that the employee is paid the same, pre-determined amount for each week they work. The reasoning behind this is that a white collar exempt worker is paid for the work done, not for the number of hours worked. If an employee wants to make a claim that we had classified them exempt but they feel they should be non-exempt and we have required them to work what we have referred to as "overtime" and not compensated them for it , we may be creating a liability for ourselves. I would recommend that for exempt jobs instead of using the term "overtime may be required", use "long work hours may be required as necessary" or something similar. I would also recommend that the active postings be modified as soon a possible. Please share this information with the recruiters or persons responsible for writing job descriptions and your compensation specialists in your group. If you wish to discuss this, please contact me at ext. 39815.
