and pay procedures are in compliance with the
requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act
with regard to payment of the minimum wage,
overtime payment, time reporting and record
keeping. The Director of Human Resource Management
is responsible also for designating employees
as Full-Time, Part-Time, or Temporary based
on the following
definitions:
Full-Time
Employment anticipated to be one or more years
in duration with a normal work schedule as follows:
1. Non-Faculty: Thirty-five
hours per week and 52 weeks per year, except
as otherwise scheduled by terms of appointment,
such as 9 or 10 month academic year appointments.
Some non-faculty employee groups may be scheduled
for 40 hours per week.
2. Faculty: Full teaching and/or
research responsibilities as determined by the
Dean of the School or Director of the Institute.

relationship. The determination of the employee
or non-employee status must comply with Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) and University guidelines
and is the responsibility of the Office of Human
Resource Management. According to the IRS, “The
relationship of employer and employee exists
when the person or persons for whom the services
are performed have the right to control and
direct the individual who performs the services,
not only as to the result to be accomplished
by the work but also as to the details and means
by which that result is accomplished.”
The following are examples of non-employees
who are paid on the Non-Scheduled Payroll Authorization
form: cooperating student teachers and field
instructors; referees and scoreboard operators;
musicians; guest lecturers; and consultants.
