It is important that you understand the definitions of the employment classifications at Ideal and know your classification. The reason is because your employment classification helps determine your employment status and what benefits you are eligible for. If you have questions or are not sure what your employment classification is, see the Doctor.

These employment classifications do not guarantee employment with Ideal for any specific period of time. You became an employee at Ideal voluntarily and your employment is at will. "At will" means that you may terminate your employment at any time, with or without cause or advance notice. Likewise, "at will" means that Ideal may terminate your employment at any time, with or without cause or advance notice, as long as we do not violate federal or state laws.

In addition being a Nonexempt or Exempt employee, you also belong to one of the following employment categories:

You are a REGULAR FULL-TIME employee if you are not assigned to a temporary or introductory status AND you are regularly scheduled to work the Ideal full-time schedule. REGULAR FULL-TIME employees are employees who are not in a temporary or introductory status AND who are regularly scheduled to work the full-time schedule at Ideal. In most cases, regular full-time employees are eligible for all Ideal benefit programs, subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations of each benefit program.
