• Non-exempt Employees: Employees whose positions do not meet the FLSA and California exemption standards are paid overtime according to state and federal law. • Full-Time Employees: Full-time employees are those who are scheduled for and do work 30 hours or more per week. Following the completion of the introductory period, regularly scheduled full-time employees are eligible for the employee benefits described in this handbook. • Part-Time Employees: Part-time employees are those who are scheduled for and do work fewer than 30 hours per week. Part-time employees are not eligible for employee benefits except those mandated by applicable law. • Temporary Employees: Temporary employees are those employed for short-term assignments. Short-term assignments generally are periods of three months or fewer; however, such assignments may be extended. Temporary employees are not eligible for employee benefits except those mandated by applicable law. • Minors: Minors will not be permitted to work unless they are legally able to do so under all applicable state and federal laws. Ordinarily, employees will not be hired unless they are at least age 18. Exceptions to this policy will be allowed only if the minor has a valid work permit that specifically authorizes the minor to work for AJK. In such a case, the minor may be permitted to work only in accordance with the terms, restrictions, and limitations set forth in the work permit. Human Resources can assist with providing department heads with work permit forms. In any case, where a difference exists between the standards set forth in the work permit and the rules established by the federal and state laws, the strictest standard shall apply. Therefore, a minor may not be allowed to work in violation of any legal standard, whether the standard is incorporated in a work permit, a state law, or a federal law. Supervisors must make certain minors work only in accordance with the terms of the work permit and applicable state and federal laws. Supervisors will be subject to disciplinary action, including the possibility of immediate termination, if they schedule or permit minors to work in a manner that violates any applicable legal standards. • Inactive Status: Employees who are on any type of leave of absence, work-related or non-work-related, that exceeds any protected state or federal leave of absence will be placed on inactive status and are not eligible to participate in AJK Employee Benefits Program, unless mandated by applicable law. BREAK IN SERVICE Employees whose break in service is less than the 60-day waiting period for health benefits will be reinstated into the health benefit plan in which they were enrolled prior to their termination pursuant to the terms and conditions of the particular benefit programs. Employees who have a break in service longer than 60 days must meet eligibility requirements for all benefits. Revised January 2024 Page 8 of 55
