Exemptions from overtime/minimum wage
['Compensation']
- Certain jobs can qualify employees for exemption from overtime and minimum wage, based on their duties and salaries.
Due to the kind of work they are hired to do and the pay they receive for it, some employees may be exempt from overtime and minimum wage requirements under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Executive, administrative, computer, outside sales, and highly compensated employees are all subject to this exemption. Employers should ensure that their employees meet the specific wage and job duty requirements before making decisions about paying overtime or minimum wage.
