Best Practices for Exempt & Non-Exempt Roles in the Job Family & Role Structure?

[DRandall]

Hello,

My company is in the process of building the data architecture required for Employee Central. Specifically, we're creating our job family and job/role structure now. Are there any recommendations for how to manage FLSA standards when there can be the same job classified as exempt and non-exempt depending on the region in question? Are multiple jobs/roles required in this case?

Any feedback or guidance is appreciated.

Thanks,
Dustin

Hi Dustin - I can help from a system/configuration perspective. Best practice is that you would have separate Jobs for exempt vs. non-exempt employees in your EC (or HCM) system.The idea of a Job Classification is to help ensure all employees doing the same work are treated the same from a pay/time/eligibility perspective.

This is difficult when you are trying to build a global job architecture. I've seen clients have a multilevel structure where similar jobs are linked together across the globe.
