NAZ Ball 2014: FAQ For Staff

Are all staff required to work at the NAZ Ball?

Yes, all staff, both exempt (salaried) and non-exempt (hourly) are expected to work at the ball in some capacity. Non-exempt staff should work with their supervisor to figure out when to flex their schedule so that they do not work more than 40 hours during that week. Exempt staff do not need to flex their schedules.

All staff will have a name tag that identifies you as a NAZ team member.
