We are brining on a new employee internally to double the size of our IT department. We're having to provide proof to our HR department (which is our primary business) that this person should be salary instead of hourly.
Their "angle" is that because the new employee is coming in at an entry level and only has an associates degree, Fair Labor Standards Act dictates that she should be hourly. Her rate is above the minimum weekly salary amount but we're looking for empirical, peer based proof that someone with the following qualifications meets the definition of a salary employee: * Associates of Applied Science in Technology Degree * Second Associates (non-technology degree) * Two years technology experience * 20+ years non-technology experience The position is for an "IT Specialist" which is mainly geared towards handling server and reporting requests with some programming along the way. I'm reaching out to the list, especially those who have hired junior positions in the past, to get some direction on that proof. Thanks! Until Later! C.
