Things to Remember
The trainee you are mentoring is a regular full time, non-exempt JHU employee. All of the same
expectations, rules and standards apply for this trainee as others hired in your Division. It is important
to keep in mind and relay to the trainee that non-exempt employees who work over 40 hours on any
given week are required to be compensated with overtime. Any overtime MUST be approved by your
responsible business office.
Any questions or concerns can be directed to the program coordinator, Alison Sagi ([email protected]).
