My job is classified as salaried, nonexempt: What does that mean? Ask HR

Johnny C. Taylor Jr. tackles your human resources questions as part of a series for USA TODAY. Taylor is president and CEO of the Society for Human Resource Management, the world's largest HR professional society and author of "Reset: A Leader’s Guide to Work in an Age of Upheaval.”

Have a question? Submit it here .

Question: My job is classified as ‘salaried, nonexempt.’ Though I’ve seen the term many times before, I’ve never understood what exactly it meant. What does that mean? How does it affect my pay? – Marlene

Most people are either salaried or nonexempt, but some assume you can’t be both. Well, that’s wrong. “Salaried” means you are paid a weekly rate and “nonexempt” means you are still entitled to overtime pay for any hours worked over 40 in a week. So, let’s say you make $52,000 per year (or $1000 per week) and you work 50 hours one week. That week, you would earn a $1000 salary plus $375 overtime pay (10 hours at $37.50 per hour) as both a salaried and nonexempt employee.

These salary, hourly, exempt, and nonexempt classifications are regulated at the federal level. However, some states may have different overtime pay requirements, such as daily overtime calculations.

While the term “nonexempt” is often associated with hourly employees, your employer is not necessarily required to pay you on an hourly basis. Instead, nonexempt employees can receive compensation through various methods, including salary, piece rate, commission, etc., provided their total weekly pay meets the minimum wage requirements and overtime is appropriately compensated for any hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek.

Despite being paid a salary, as a salaried, nonexempt employee, your employer is still obligated to track and record your work hours. If you work overtime, your employer must calculate your regular hourly rate based on your salary and pay you accordingly for all overtime hours worked. This ensures compliance with federal and state labor laws regarding compensation for nonexempt employees.

Again, thanks for asking, and I hope this makes your job designation clearer.

I’m considering putting in for a transfer to another department. What is the best way to inquire about a transfer without burning bridges with my current team and manager? – Dean

Navigating an internal transfer while maintaining positive relationships with your current team and manager requires careful consideration and communication. Here’s how you can approach the process without burning bridges:

• Review company policies: Start by familiarizing yourself with your company's internal transfer policy and process. Ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements for a transfer and carefully assess the qualifications and skills required for the position you’re interested in.
• Initiate a candid discussion: Transparency is vital in this situation. Schedule a meeting with your manager to have an open and honest conversation about your intention to apply for a transfer. Clearly communicate your reasons for seeking the transfer, such as a desire for career growth or a better alignment with your career goals. Emphasize that your decision does not reflect any issues with your current team or manager, but rather a personal career choice.
• Involve human resources: Once you’ve discussed with your manager your intent to transfer, contact your HR department to kickstart the internal transfer process. They can provide guidance on the necessary paperwork and steps to formalize your request.
• Exercise discretion with co-workers: While being transparent with your manager is essential, consider keeping your intention to transfer confidential from your co-workers until your move is confirmed. This can help minimize any disruptions within your team, especially if you’re not ultimately selected for the transfer. However, if you are chosen for the new position, offer your assistance in training your replacement and supporting your team during the transition period.

Following these steps and maintaining open communication allows you to conduct the internal transfer process smoothly while preserving the valued relationships with your current team and manager. Good luck as you pursue this new opportunity!

What does the government mean when it says it supports a two-state solution?

Any discussion of a two-state solution, as a remedy to the seemingly endless conflict in the Middle East, is always going to fuel furious debate.

Penny Wong's decision to weigh into this particularly fraught diplomatic space, at a time when Israel is facing widespread criticism for its war on Gaza, has done just that.

The Australian government has taken a far stronger line on Israel since a deadly air strike on an aid convoy in Gaza claimed the life of Australian woman Zomi Frankcom.

The foreign minister insists the Australian government has "made no such decision" on recognising a Palestinian state, but argues the current conflict shows why a long-term arrangement is needed.

"Ultimately, peace, security for Israel, will only be achieved if we have a Palestinian state alongside the Israeli state," she told the ABC's RN Breakfast.

What is a 'two-state solution'?

There's a long and torrid history when it comes to how Israel and Palestine co-exist, stretching back to World War I and British control of the region, and subsequent decisions to resettle displaced Jewish people after the horrors of World War II.

Borders dividing Israeli and Palestinian territory have shifted a number of times as a result of various peace proposals and bloody conflicts with neighbouring Arab states.

Currently, Israel has effective control of the entire area in question — either as part of the Israeli state or as occupied territory in the West Bank and Gaza.

At its base level, the idea of "a two-state solution" is to formalise those territorial claims and some of the sticking points in the relationship between the two sides here — things like controversial Jewish settlements in Palestinian territory and control over the holy city of Jerusalem.

What is Australia's official position?

Australia officially refers to the West Bank and Gaza as the Occupied Palestinian Territories — a position adopted in 2023 by Foreign Minister Penny Wong after almost a decade of Australian officials avoiding the use of the term "occupied".

"Australia does not recognise a Palestinian state," the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade website states.

"We are committed to a two-state solution in which Israel and a future Palestinian state coexist, in peace and security, within internationally recognised borders."

Despite that, Australia does have diplomatic ties with the Palestinian Authority, which administers the West Bank – through a DFAT office in Ramallah and with a Palestinian delegation office in Canberra.

Who does recognise Palestine as a state?

Of the 193 member states of the United Nations, 139 recognise a Palestinian state.

Most Middle East, Asian, African and South American nations have formally recognised Palestinian statehood.

Countries including Japan, Canada and New Zealand are in a similar boat to Australia in not recognising Palestine as a state, along with almost all of Western Europe.

Three big players here — the United States, United Kingdom and France — also have not done so.

They are important because of the role those countries have as three of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council.

They have veto rights on countries joining the United Nations and have made a peaceful resolution to conflict with Israel a condition of Palestinian statehood.

Some would argue that fuels a chicken and egg argument — what comes first, statehood or peace? And which is a necessary precursor or catalyst for the other?

Palestine is classified as a non-member observer to the United Nations — a move Australia abstained from voting on back in 2012  after considerable angst within Labor ranks.

Why has this debate flared up now?

Israel's continued bombardment of Gaza, and the international concern and criticism that has flowed as a result, has led to many questions about how the current conflict ends.

There are a multitude of technical arguments that can be thrashed out on how a conflict is managed when one party is recognised as a state and the other is not.

And it's important to note Hamas, which controls Gaza, and the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank are different entities.

"I have been clear that Hamas has no role in the future of Gaza," Senator Wong said.

"What I'm talking about is what is the long-term pathway to peace."

Senator Wong's comments have some parallels with remarks by UK foreign secretary David Cameron, who has said the British government has "always supported a two-state solution".

"Clearly, recognising a Palestinian state at the right time is part of that policy," he told the House of Lords in February.

"It isn't rewarding Hamas — Hamas don't believe in a two-state solution, they believe in the destruction of Israel.

"The last 30 years have shown that we won't solve this problem without a solution that gives dignity and security to Palestinian people, as well as giving vital security to Israel."

Penny Wong rejected suggestions it would be akin to rewarding terrorist groups like Hamas.

"The way to think about this is, in fact, ensuring that there is a pathway to peace emboldens moderates because it requires both sides to live side by side in peace," she said.

How has the Albanese government's rhetoric changed on Israel?

Since taking office, the Albanese government has taken a slightly different approach to the relationship with Israel to its predecessors.

Even before the latest chapter in the conflict began, Labor was taking a harder line on issues such as Jewish settlements in the West Bank.

When Hamas launched attacks on Israel on October 7, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese joined the global condemnation of the group and labelled their actions as "abhorrent".

As the war entered its second month, Mr Albanese joined with his Canadian and Kiwi counterparts to call for a "sustainable ceasefire" in Gaza.

That language was soon tweaked, to be described as a "humanitarian ceasefire", as concerns over the suffering in Gaza ramped up.

In December, the prime minister urged the world not to "abandon hope" for a two-state solution in the Middle East, even as Israel's behaviour in Gaza was called into question.

The rhetoric sharpened in the wake of the Israel Defense Force's (IDF) deadly air strike on an aid convoy in Gaza, killing seven including Australian woman Zomi Frankcom.

Mr Albanese said Australians were " outraged" by the attack , and said he had urged his Israeli counterpart not to launch a ground invasion of the southern city of Rafah.

Labor's stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict is an ever-present issue, debated at each national conference where delegates formulate the party's policies.

The ALP national platform says the party:

• Supports the recognition and right of Israel and Palestine to exist as two states within secure and recognised borders;
• Calls on the Australian government to recognise Palestine as a state; and
• Expects that this issue will be an important priority for the Australian government

But those last two points, when handed the reins of government, are always more difficult to put into practice.

Where does the term 'GOAT' come from and what does it mean?

Muhammad Ali. Earl Manigault .  Caitlin Clark. 

These three athletes all have been called "The GOAT," but what does that even mean?

The term "GOAT" is an acronym for "Greatest of All Time" and is believed to have originated in the world of hip-hop music in the 1990s. The term was popularized by rapper and actor LL Cool J.

In 2000, LL Cool J released an album titled "G.O.A.T." In an interview with Change the Game TV , he explains the term's roots:

"I got the term from two people. First of all, Muhammad Ali obviously said he was the greatest of all time. So I got it from Muhammad Ali. And then there was a street ballplayer called Earl Manigault, but they call him the GOAT…," LL Cool J said. "So I just decided that I was going to take 'GOAT' and greatest of all time and make an acronym. That's when I dropped my album in 2000, I called it, 'G.O.A.T.' featuring the greatest of all time. I had no idea that it was going to become part of the lexicon."

FOLLOW THE MADNESS: NCAA tournament brackets, scores, schedules, teams and more.

GOAT gradually crossed into mainstream culture and began to be used in other contexts. Specifically, the term gained popularity in sports discussions and debates, particularly on social media platforms, where fans and analysts would refer to dominant athletes as the "GOAT" of their respective sports.

Is Caitlin Clark the GOAT?

Caitlin Clark has rewritten records during her four-year career with the University of Iowa, from being the NCAA all-time scoring leader to being The Naismith National Player of the Year for two years in a row. Clark has sparked debate about whether she is, in fact, the greatest of all time in college women's basketball.

South Carolina coach Dawn Staley , who never won a championship during her 1988-92 career at Virginia, said ahead of the NCAA Tournament championship game that to cement a legacy and be in the GOAT conversation , one needs to win a title.

"You've got to win a championship. That's (my opinion) personally," Staley said. "Like I had a great career. But it's always, did you win a championship?"

Clark commented on Staley's statement ahead of Sunday's game, emphasizing that she won't measure success based on whether she gets a ring.

"I've played basketball at this university for four years, and for it to come down to two games and that be whether or not I'm proud of myself and proud of the way I've carried myself and proud of the way I've impacted people in their lives, I don't think that's a fair assessment," Clark said. "I don't want my legacy to be 'Oh, Caitlin won X amount of games or Caitlin scored X amount of points.' It's, I hope, what I was able to do for the game of women's basketball."

While the South Carolina Gamecocks beat the Hawkeyes in the NCAA Tournament final, 87-75, Staley credited Clark for elevating the sport in a post-game conversation.

"I want to personally thank Caitlin Clark for lifting up our sport," Staley said. "She carried a heavy load for our sport. It just is not going to stop here on a collegiate tour; when she is the No. 1 pick in the WNBA Draft, she's going to lift that league up as well."

"So, Caitlin Clark, if you're out there, you are one of the GOATs of our game. We appreciate you."

Can the eclipse impact your astrological sign? An astrologer weighs in

By Kristine Johnson

Updated on: April 5, 2024 / 6:14 PM EDT / CBS New York

NEW YORK —  We're just a few days away from the April 8 solar eclipse , and everyone will be looking skyward to watch this amazing cosmic phenomenon,  with the proper glasses  of course. 

Astrologers who look to the stars say that if you feel a little different during an eclipse, there's a reason. People are impacted by this alignment of the sun, the moon and the earth, according to astrologer Rebecca Gordon.

Gordon acknowledged to WCBS that, for some, astrology is all smoke and mirrors, but she encourages keeping an open mind. She says not all signs will be affected equally during the eclipse.

"Aries will definitely be impacted. Also, their opposite sign of Libra will be. And the signs of Cancer and Capricorn, as well, will certainly be impacted," she said. "Let's just say that every member of the zodiac will be impacted. Nobody gets out of an eclipse without impact." 

Gordon believes the planets always assert an influence over events and our behavior, and eclipses only magnify what is happening. 

"You look at patterns and cycles," Gordon said. "Big things happening on eclipses. That you simply cannot argue with." 

Gordon points to what she calls patterns of significant historical events that have occurred at key astrological times. And she says the impacts of the moon's path are significant in astrology.

"When the moon is full, the tides are high. All crustaceans are born on full moons. Did you know jellyfish are often born on full moons? So essentially, the waters of the ocean swell. What is your body made up of?" Gordon asked. 

"You are sort of in the eye of the needle of eclipse season. That is when there might be a bit of chaos and confusion. So in your life, there might be - why did that job let me go, that relationship just began, that relationship ended? There can be a whole lot of change... You want to not plan too much, leave space open, because you will need that space to react thoughtfully." 

CBS News New York will have complete coverage of the eclipse on April 8, from 2 to 4 p.m. 

Kristine Johnson currently co-anchors the 5 p.m. & 11 p.m. news at the CBS owned and operated station in New York City. She joined CBS 2 in the fall of 2006. Since then, she has been the recipient of several Emmy awards.

What does the red seat at Fenway Park mean? Here's the history behind the lone red seat.

A throne of baseball history should look iconic. It's a good thing they painted it red.

Amid a horde of dark green, there is a single red seat in section 42, row 37, the beating heart of Fenway Park. Installed in 1984, the 'Red Seat' is a fixture emblematic of the ballpark itself, just like the Green Monster .

It remains a powerful symbol of Fenway history. It commemorates one of the most notable accomplishments by a late Boston Red Sox legend, Ted Williams , who played from 1939 to 1960 and stands immortalized in bronze outside Fenway Park, giving his cap to a sick child.

The history of the Red Seat at Fenway Park

On June 9, 1946 , the Red Sox were facing off against the Detroit Tigers. The Sox would triumph over the Tigers with a five run difference; however, the win was not the most important thing to come out of that summer game.

According to the Red Sox, Williams hit a 502-foot home run that game, one of the longest home runs at Fenway Park in history.

The ball allegedly bounced off the head of an attendee that was sitting on the bench that would become seat 21, section 42, row 37, thus marking the spot Williams hit his famous home run.

In 1984, the late owner of the Red Sox, Haywood Sullivan, had a red seat put in at the same spot Williams' home run landed to remember Williams' stunning blast, thus marking that spot for the last 40 years as the 'Red Seat'.

How much does it cost to sit there

While the 'Red Seat' has historically cost $23 to $45 to sit in per game, baseball ticket prices have steadily rose throughout the years, so the iconic seat's price may have also risen towards the higher end of that range.

The Major League Baseball's Fenway Park website also offers the 502' Perch , a private area on the Sam Deck that sits near the 'Red Seat'. It can accommodate 10 to 20 guests and averages $2,000 to $3,000.
