Employee HandbookEmployment Categories

It is the intent of Nxtbook Media to clarify the definition of employment classifications so that employees understand their employment status and benefit eligibility. These classifications do not guarantee employment for any specified period of time. Accordingly, the right to terminate the employment relationship at will at any time is retained by both the employee and Nxtbook Media.Each employee is designated as either NONEXEMPT or EXEMPT from federal and state wage and hour laws. NONEXEMPT employees are entitled to overtime pay under the specific provisions of federal and state laws. EXEMPT employees are excluded from specific provisions of federal and state wage and hour laws. An employee’s EXEMPT or NONEXEMPT classification may be changed only upon written notification by Nxtbook Media.In addition to the NONEXEMPT and EXEMPT categories, each employee will belong to one other employment category:

Regular Full Time employees are those who are not in a temporary, seasonal, or introductory status and who are regularly scheduled to work at Nxtbook Media on a full-time basis. Generally, they are eligible for Nxtbook Media’s benefit package, subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations of each benefit program.

Part-time employees are those who are not assigned to a temporary or introductory status and who are regularly scheduled to work less than 40 hours per week. While they do receive all legally mandated benefits (such as Social Security and workers’ compensation insurance), they are ineligible for all of Nxtbook Media’s other benefit programs, except the Employee Assistance Program.

Seasonal employees are those who work during certain seasons in the year. While they do receive all legally mandated benefits (such as Social Security and workers’ compensation insurance), they are ineligible for all of Nxtbook Media’s other benefit programs, except the Employee Assistance Program.

Introductory employees are those whose performance is being evaluated to determine whether further employment in a specific position or with Nxtbook Media is appropriate.
