Exempt Job Types (Administrator/Professional Technical)

Exempt status is determined by position analysis to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).  Positions that may qualify for exempt status include school administrators, directors, managers, accountants, and some technology department positions.   For exempt compensation 27J uses a salary schedule based on ranges.  Positions are placed in ranges by the market analysis of 27J’s compensation consultant every three years.  27J places new hires in the range based on consideration of “like” experience relative to current 27J staff in the same range.     27J uses minimum qualifications from the job description in hiring decisions but does not use qualifications/education for exempt salary placement.
