Employment Categories

It is important that you understand the definitions of the employment classifications at Jones Fuel Co. and know your classification. The reason is because your employment classification helps determine your employment status and what benefits you are eligible for. If you have questions or are not sure what your employment classification is, see your supervisor.

These employment classifications do not guarantee employment with Jones Fuel Co. for any specific period of time. You became an employee at Jones Fuel Co. voluntarily and your employment is "at will".

Depending on your job, you are either NONEXEMPT or EXEMPT from federal and state wage and hour laws. If you are a NONEXEMPT employee, you are entitled to overtime pay under the specific provisions of federal and state laws. If you are an EXEMPT employee, you are excluded from specific provisions of federal and state wage and hour laws. Your EXEMPT or NONEXEMPT classification may be changed only with written notification by Jones Fuel Co. management.

In addition to being a Nonexempt or Exempt employee, you also belong to one of the following employment categories:

You are a REGULAR FULL-TIME employee if you are not assigned to a temporary or introductory status AND you are regularly scheduled to work the Jones Fuel Co. full-time schedule. REGULAR FULL-TIME employees are employees who are not in a temporary or introductory status AND who are regularly scheduled to work the full-time schedule at Jones Fuel Co. In most cases, regular full-time employees are eligible for all Jones Fuel Co. benefit programs, subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations of each benefit program.
