  • Non-Professional Vs. Professional Jobs

    Jobs are often classified as nonprofessional or professional, though the distinction between the two can be unclear. Jobs tend to be deemed professional if they require specialized knowledge and advanced skills in an area. Teachers, engineers and doctors are all considered professionals. Jobs classified as nonprofessional are often manual or repetitive in nature. Dishwashers and cashiers are often considered nonprofessionals. The characteristics of these jobs vary greatly.

  • Classification of Exempt Vs. Non-Exempt

    The Federal Fair Labor Standards Act, or FLSA, requires that all employers allocate positions within their organizations to be either exempt or non-exempt. A non-exempt employee is covered under the rules and policies of the FLSA; however, those regulations do not apply to exempt employees. Non-exempt employees are entitled to overtime pay and the set of laws surrounding all minimum wage regulations, while exempt employees are not promised any additional pay if they work overtime -- nor are they guaranteed minimum wage.
