General policy: The Federal government classifies employees for determining the applicability of pay-related laws. There are mainly two categories of employees, exempt and nonexempt, which relate to being "exempt" or "not exempt" from certain requirements of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, such as payment of overtime. These categories also have a bearing on how work time is accounted for. The determination of whether a job within GCM is considered exempt or nonexempt is made by Missionary Resources in accordance with the guidelines and definitions established in the Fair Labor Standards Act. The categories below define the types of employees within GCM. In general, an employee is a person who receives wages or salaries from GCM in exchange for work performed and who is characterized as an "employee" rather than an "independent contractor" under the IRS's criteria set forth in Revenue Ruling 87-41.
