The business office is responsible for classifying all employees into one of the following classifications for eligibility to receive certain benefits offered by Levine Academy. These classifications are defined as:
o Exempt: Employees whose positions meet specific criteria established by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and who are exempt from overtime pay requirements.
o Non-Exempt: Employees whose positions do not meet FLSA criteria who are paid one and one- half their regular rate of pay for hours worked in excess of 40 hours per week.
o Regular Full-Time Employee: An employee who is regularly scheduled to work at least 30 hours per week for a period of indefinite duration or for a contracted period of the school year, is referred to as a regular full-time employee. o Regular Part-Time Employee: An employee who is scheduled to work up to 30 hours per week for a period of indefinite duration, or contracted to work for the school year, is referred to as a regular part-time employee. o Limited Term Employee: When the need arises, Levine Academy may hire employees for a temporary period. Limited term employees are persons hired to work on a special assignment, with the understanding that such work will be completed within a specified period of time, usually not to exceed three months. Limited term employees do not become regular employees as a result of the passage of time, even though they may be regularly scheduled during their temporary assignments. o Regular Full-Time Teacher: An employee who regularly teaches in the K8 division a minimum of 30 student-contact hours per week. Full-Time Teachers are expected to be on campus from 7:30am until after the regularly scheduled school day in order to fulfill any required faculty meetings or assignments or tutorials.
