Exempt or Non-Exempt? It’s More Than a Salary Threshold

Exempt or Non-Exempt? It’s More Than a Salary Threshold

Classifying an employee’s overtime exemption sounds like it would be simple: Are they salaried? However, it is so much more complex than just how an employee is paid. It’s not just what they are making, it’s also what they are doing.

When evaluating an employee’s exemption status, you must have an accurate job description that uses correct language, you must meet minimum pay thresholds, and you must pass the “Duties Test.” Thousands of federal and state statutes, regulations and cases on employee exemption weigh into the final decision for each position, and that varies by jurisdiction.

Make the correct exempt or non-exempt classification call with Navigator Overtime. This solution provides you with a simple questionnaire, an actionable risk assessment, instant guidance, and more. In this 30-minute webinar, Michael Worth will walk you through what goes into the overtime exemption decision, and demonstrate Navigator OT, showing you how much time you can save and how much more accurate you can be.
