English term
Director\'s exemption
There are two types of exemptions for criminal history clearance:
1) Simplified Exemption; done where there is only one (1) misdemeanor conviction within the last few years and
2) Director’s Exemption; this includes more than one (1) misdemeanor and/or felony conviction.
Does it mean the exemption can be done by the "Director" only?
Can anybody help explain it? Your help is much appreciated.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

The Director will make a decision based on all the factors involved or by taking an overall view
Obviously it will depend on just how many misdemeanours/felony convictions there are and how serious these are as to whether an exemptio will be granted or not. So it's not a definite thing at all

It need not be the director all the time
---
Specifying the second exemption type as "Director's exemption" points out that the first exemption need not necessarily be done by the director.
Meaning there is a possibility of someone below his rank/level making the first kind of exemption.
Hence, it follows that all the exemptions need not necessarily be done by the director.
Further, if both kind of exemptions were to be done by director himself, then why name the second exemption alone as "Director's exemption"? It could have been named as, say "Special exemption" to contrast it with "Simplified exemption."
