A code indicating whether the work or position is covered under applicable
labor law relating to working hours, overtime, and similar protections.
Within the United States, this would refer to coverage under the
U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and implementing regulations.
Enumerated values are: "exempt" and "non-exempt." Under FLSA
requirements, non-exempt positions are due overtime at a rate of one
and a half times the employee's regular rate of pay for all hours
worked over 40 in a workweek. Non-exempt positions also are subject to
certain recordkeeping and certain other provisions. While this
element can accommodate requirements within the U.S. market, the
optional typeCode and countryCode attributes allow it to be applied
within other jurisdictions as well.
NOTE: In the U.S., while it is common to classify a position as exempt or
non-exempt, actual coverage under the FLSA usually is determined on the basis of
an employee's actual performance or engagement within a workweek and not on
whether an employee is assigned to or associated with a position that an employer
has classified as "exempt" or "nonexempt."
Consult competent legal counsel on all matters of employment law
compliance.
