Frequently Asked Questions

Transitioning from salaried (exempt) to hourly (non-exempt)

Fiscal Year Calculation:
Annualized Salary/2,080 hours

Academic Year Calculation:
Annualized Salary/1,600 hours

Example:
A 1.0 FTE academic-year employee is salaried (exempt) at $50,000. They are transitioning to hourly (non-exempt). 

$50,000 / 1,600 hours = Hourly rate of $31.25

Transitioning from hourly (non-exempt) to salaried (exempt)

Fiscal Year Calculation:
Hourly Rate * 2,080 hours * FTE

Academic Year Calculation:
Hourly Rate * 1,600 hours * FTE

Example:
A 1.0 FTE fiscal-year employee is hourly (non-exempt) at $32.00/hour. They are transitioning to salaried (exempt)

$32.00 * 2,080 hours * 1.0 FTE = Salary of $66,560

This chart uses 2,080 hours as a standard. However, the number of hours in a fiscal year may change each July 1, based on the number of regular workdays occurring between July 1 and June 30 of that year. Depending on the number of hours in a given fiscal year, an employee's salary may be spread across 26.0, 26.1 or 26.2 pay periods.

For current annualized fiscal hours and related calculations, review the current year's Calculation Survival Guide.
