Employee categories
Employees at Gorilla 76 fall into one of three categories, depending on their role:
- Full-time
- Part-time
- Temporary
Full-time
Full-time exempt employees are not subject to minimum wage and overtime provisions under the Fair Labor Standard Act (FLSA). Typically, they work at least 40 hours per week and are paid on a semimonthly basis. They’re eligible for Gorilla 76’s benefit package.
Full-time non-exempt employees work a regular full-time schedule and are entitled to overtime pay at 1.5 times their hourly rate for any hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. Their wages are calculated hourly.
Part-time
Part-time non-exempt employees work 30 hours or less per week. They receive all legally mandated benefits and may be eligible for certain company benefits depending on hours worked. Their wages are calculated on an hourly basis.
Temporary
Temporary employees are hired for a specified project or timeframe, either full-time or part-time. They’re compensated according to the terms of their hire but do not receive additional company-provided benefits beyond the legally mandated ones.
Vendors, independent contractors and agency-hired temporary workers are not considered Gorilla 76 employees.
Employment category notification
You’ll be informed of your initial employment classification as an exempt or non-exempt employee in your offer letter, but you can ask at any other time. If you change positions during your employment as a result of a promotion or transfer, you’ll be informed of any change in your exemption status.
Workweek/hours
Our workweek begins Sunday at midnight and ends the following Saturday at 11:59 p.m; and our normal working hours are 7:30-9:30 a.m. to 4:00-6:00 p.m. (all times Central). Employees generally work an eight-hour day. While we try to keep overtime to a minimum, occasionally client demands require extra hours – so we ask you put them in when needed. For non-exempt employees, any hours worked beyond 40 a workweek requires advanced approval by Joe or Jon.
We value flexibility and trust you to manage your schedule responsibly while meeting your work obligations.
Payment of wages
Employees are paid semimonthly, on the 15th and the last business day of the month, typically the 30th or 31st. All pay is by direct deposit.
If a regularly scheduled payday falls on a weekend or holiday, employees will receive pay on the last business day before the scheduled payday.
Payroll deductions
Gorilla 76 is required by law to deduct certain amounts from every employee’s paycheck, including federal, state and local income taxes. Additionally, Social Security taxes are withheld up to designated wage base and Gorilla 76 matches each employee’s Social Security contributions.
If you have questions about paycheck deductions or how they were calculated, ask! And if your deposit doesn’t appear correct, let us know immediately – we want to ensure you pay is always accurate.
