HR Policies

Contacting Human Resources

Section titled “Contacting Human Resources”

Designated HR Team

Section titled “Designated HR Team”

Cadence OneFive’s designated Human Resources contacts are Bomee and Erika. They serve as the primary points of contact for HR-related inquiries and support.

Policy Questions / Discussions

Section titled “Policy Questions / Discussions”

Non-confidential questions, suggestions, and discussions of HR policy can be posted in the #hr-public channel. Emails to the hr-public email address will also post to the channel. This channel is open to all Cadence OneFive team members.

Confidential HR Matters

Section titled “Confidential HR Matters”

Confidential matters — including any HR-related questions where the reporter’s identity must remain private — should be sent to the hr-confidential email address.

All emails sent to the HR confidential inbox will be treated with the highest level of sensitivity, and only the designated HR team will have access.

If your confidential concern involves a member of the designated HR team, you may instead email either or both co-founders directly.

Section titled “Employment-related Terms”

Understanding employee classifications is important for interpreting HR policies, compensation practices, and benefits eligibility. The most common classifications at Cadence OneFive include:

  • Exempt permanent full-time employees

  • Non-exempt temporary part-time hourly employees (e.g., interns)

Exempt vs. Non-Exempt

Section titled “Exempt vs. Non-Exempt”

These classifications determine eligibility for overtime pay and minimum wage protections.

Exempt Employees

  • Not entitled to overtime pay or minimum wage protections under applicable law.

  • Paid a fixed salary regardless of hours worked.

Non-Exempt Employees

  • Must be paid at least the applicable minimum wage for all hours worked.

  • Eligible for overtime compensation at 1.5 times the regular rate of pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek.

Full-Time vs. Part-Time

Section titled “Full-Time vs. Part-Time”

These terms relate primarily to benefits eligibility.

  • Full-time employees work 30 or more hours per week and are eligible for health benefits under the Affordable Care Act.

  • Part-time employees work fewer than 30 hours per week.

Permanent vs. Temporary

Section titled “Permanent vs. Temporary”

Most Cadence OneFive employees are permanent, meaning they do not have a predetermined end date for their employment. Temporary employees, such as interns, have a set end date.

Salaried vs. Hourly

Section titled “Salaried vs. Hourly”

  • Salaried employees receive a fixed amount per pay period, regardless of hours worked.

  • Hourly employees are paid for all hours worked at their assigned hourly rate.
