Full-Time Salaried (Exempt) Employees

As a condition of their employment status, full-time salaried employees are expected to be available on an “ as needed basis ” by their supervisors. If this requires you to be available for work on a holiday honored by Frenchman ’ s Creek, you will receive time off for the holiday at a time when department business activity allows as determined by your supervisor.
