2.1.3 Exempt and Non-exempt Classifications
 
2.1.3.1 Purpose
 
The purpose of this section is to define the terms Exempt and Non-exempt as they apply to employee classifications used at Chapman University.
 
2.1.3.2 Terms
 
The terms "exempt" and "non-exempt" are classifications derived from the duties performed by an employee, not from the title assigned to a position. Exempt employees, by the nature of their responsibilities are exempt from overtime compensation, under both state and federal law. (See section 2.l2.4)
