How do I know if I am exempt or non-exempt?

April 1, 2014

If you are unsure of your exemption status you can do one of the following:

1.    Login to blu.berkeley.edu with your Calnet ID and passphrase. At the top left corner of the Blu webpage, you will see (screenshot below):

  • FLSA status
  • Job title (code and description): A code representing your job title and description of your job classification.
  • Leave code: A letter representing your vacation and sick leave full time rate of accrual (i.e. vacation = 14, sick leave = 8).
  • Vacation leave accrual rate: The full time rate an employee is eligible to accrue.
  • Sick leave accrual rate: The full time rate an employee is eligible to accrue.

2.    Ask your supervisor 

3.    If you know your title code you can go to https://tcs.ucop.edu/tcs/jsp/nonAcademicTitlesSearch.htm and you will be able to determine whether you are exempt or nonexempt.
