English term or phrase: exempt population
Hola, busco la traducción de este termino que me aparece en una presentación sobre sistemas de remuneración y beneficios y establecimiento de categorías profesionales en una empresa multinacional aplicando el método HAY para valoración de puestos de trabajo. El contexto es el siguiente:

"IN SCOPE POPULATION
This initiative focuses on the exempt population across Europe.
It does not currently cover any employees currently covered by an existing CLA.

TO BE DISCUSSED
in more detail with HR team and understand tim’s views
There are important strategic questions we need to answer including:
How much interaction do we want with our social partners (Unions)?
What data is needed to decide what the exempt cut off should be across COCACOLA?
If we do or do not harmonize then what are the implications?
Much of this can only be done once all the mapping is complete."

Muchas gracias

empleados exentos


Explanation:
Traducción: "Esta iniciativa se centra en los empleados exentos de Europa"...

En primer lugar, si estamos hablando del entorno laboral de una multinacional (me imagino que con sede en EE. UU.), ¿por qué utilizar el término "población" en español?

En segundo lugar, "empleados exentos o no exentos" son términos recogidos en la Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) http://www.dol.gov/whd/flsa/. Es un tipo de clasificación de los trabajadores en el ámbito laboral y obviamente proviene de EE. UU.

Por "exentos" se alude a los empleados cuya actividad no está regulada por la ley anterior (con respecto al pago de horas extras, vacaciones). Normalmente, ocupan puestos directivos de responsabilidad y cobran un "salary" en vez de "wages". También se consideran exentos los enlaces sindicales y algunos otros grupos.

See,

"A dichos empleados se les
conoce como ***empleados "exentos"***, y no reciben el pago de horas extras, incluso si trabajan más horas de las que
tienen programadas, más de ocho horas al día o más de cuarenta horas a la semana.

El que reciba o no el pago de horas extras generalmente depende del tipo de trabajo que haga. Los empleados que
están "exentos" de, o a quienes no se aplican, las leyes sobre las horas extras generalmente tienen muchas
responsabilidades dentro de una compañía y pueden participar en las decisiones respecto a cómo se administra la
compañía. Algunos empleados están exentos porque trabajan en una industria en que los horarios laborales son tan
irregulares que sería imposible calcular las horas extras. Usted no queda exento sólo por el hecho que su empleador
diga que está exento, o porque su empleador le dé algún título (como por ejemplo, "subgerente"), o le pague de cierta
manera.

Las exenciones de la leyes sobre horas extras se dividen en cinco categorías principales. Cada una de las cinco se
describe a continuación."

http://www.las-elc.org/factsheets/exemptions_sp.pdf

"Most workers are classified as either ***exempt or non-exempt*** depending on their salary and the type of work they do. The federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires that in addition to paying at least the minimum wage employers also must pay overtime to employees who work more than 40 hours in a given workweek, unless they meet certain exceptions. To complicate matters further, many states have wage and hour laws that may have more requirements than the FLSA. Employers must make sure they abide by both federal and state wage and hours laws to avoid legal trouble.
In addition to regular non-exempt employees and exempt employees, there are several other classifications of workers. It’s important to make sure that those workers actually meet the requirements for those classifications in the FLSA and your state’s wage and hour laws. Other classifications include volunteers, trainees, interns, independent contractors, and temporary employees."
