Classification of Employees
This process step involves categorizing employees based on their job roles, responsibilities, and qualifications to determine their place within the organizational structure. The classification of employees helps in defining their duties, expectations, and accountability. It also aids in determining the type of training and development required for each employee group. Typically, this process entails reviewing employee positions, skills, and work outputs against established criteria to assign them to specific categories such as administrative support staff, technical specialists, or management personnel. The classification is essential for effective human resource planning, performance evaluation, and career progression within the organization. Accurate classification ensures that employees are utilized efficiently, and their roles contribute meaningfully towards achieving business objectives.

Classification of Employees
Exempt Employee Qualifications
This process step is intended to validate an employee's qualifications to be classified as exempt. The step involves reviewing the employee's job duties, compensation, and responsibilities to determine if they meet the criteria for exemption under relevant laws and regulations. This includes assessing whether the employee's primary function is management or high-level decision-making, or whether they are paid on a salary basis of not less than the applicable minimum wage for a full week's work in a workweek. The step also involves verifying that the employee is exempt from overtime pay requirements due to their job duties and compensation structure.

Non-Exempt Employee Qualifications
To be eligible for non-exempt employee status, candidates must meet specific requirements. They must have a high school diploma or equivalent, and in some cases, a bachelor's degree may be required depending on the job role and industry. Non-exempt employees typically work in roles such as customer service representatives, data entry clerks, and production line workers. Their primary responsibilities involve performing tasks that are directly supervised by management, with their daily activities being closely monitored. In addition to education and experience, non-exempt employees must be able to perform the physical demands of the job, which may include standing for long periods or lifting heavy objects.
Non-Exempt Employee Qualifications
Overtime and Compensatory Time
This process step involves determining whether an employee has worked overtime hours or is eligible for compensatory time. The employee's total hours worked are compared to their standard work schedule to identify any overtime hours. Overtime pay rates may apply to these additional hours depending on the organization's policies and applicable labor laws. Compensatory time, also known as comp time, allows employees to take paid leave at a later date in lieu of overtime pay for eligible hours worked. The manager or HR representative will determine if an employee is eligible for compensatory time based on their job classification, collective bargaining agreements, and company policies.

Record Keeping and Notification
This step involves maintaining accurate and up-to-date records of all interactions, transactions, and events related to the project. It entails documenting key milestones, decisions, and outcomes to ensure transparency and accountability. The purpose is to provide a clear audit trail that can be referenced in case of any discrepancies or disputes. This process also includes sending notifications to relevant stakeholders, such as team members, clients, or partners, to keep them informed about progress, changes, or new developments. Notifications may take the form of emails, messages, or updates on project management tools. The goal is to maintain a high level of visibility and communication throughout the project lifecycle.
Record Keeping and Notification
Acknowledgement
This process step involves obtaining formal confirmation from relevant parties that they have received and understood the information provided. The acknowledgement may be in written or verbal form and serves as a record of communication exchange. It ensures that all involved parties are on the same page and aware of any commitments or agreements made. This step is crucial in avoiding misunderstandings, miscommunication, and disputes that may arise from differences in perception or interpretation of information. A well-documented acknowledgement provides transparency and accountability throughout the process.
