Employment Categories
Greenville University has established the following categories for both exempt and nonexempt employees:
Regular, Full- Time
Employees who are not in a temporary status and who are regularly scheduled to work at least 30 hours per week. Generally, these employees are eligible for the full benefits package, subject to the terms, conditions and limitation of each benefit program.
Regular, Part-Time
Employees who are not in a temporary status and who are regularly scheduled to work at least 20 hours each week and less than 30 hours per week. Regular part-time employees are eligible for some of the benefits offered by the University subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of each benefits program. Regular, part-time employees are not eligible for the University insurance benefits.
Regular, Part-Time employees do not qualify for pay for holidays that may occur during their work period, and service awards.
Temporary
Temporary employees work jobs of limited duration, normally up to a maximum of six months and up to 27 hours per week, related to special projects, abnormal workloads, emergencies, and other situations. Adjuncts and seasonal coaches are temporary employees. Temporary employees are not eligible for benefits. Employment beyond any initially stated period does not in any way imply a change in employment status.
A record of hours worked by day and by week for temporary employees is required. Temporary employees report their time worked via the online timekeeping system. Temporary employees are paid behind on the pay dates of the 15th and the end of the month. Temporary employees pay periods are the 6th through the 20th paid on the end of the month and the 21st through the 5th paid on the 15th.
