During the last decade or two, employers have found it increasingly difficult to decide which employees are entitled to overtime pay. Those classifications are commonly referred to as exempt employees (those who meet the FLSA’s requirements to be exempt from overtime pay) and non-exempt employees (employees the law requires to be paid overtime).

With a Democratic and pro-employee President now in office, these considerations become even more relevant – and pressing—for employers.

The FLSA contains dozens of exemptions, which basically provide that specific categories of employees and/or positions aren’t subject to the Act’s overtime requirements. Most common are the “white-collar” exemptions for executive, administrative, and professional employees, computer professionals, and outside sales employees.

Many employers think their employees are properly classified as overtime-exempt, only to find out that in fact they are improperly classified, and that their employees are entitled to back pay in the form of overtime pay and the same amount in liquidated damages. In other words, if you owe your employees any wages – either straight or overtime pay—you are on the hook, under the FLSA (federal law) for double that amount. If your employees work in a State with even more stringent wage and hour laws, you could end up paying more.

Wage and hour law in general, and employee classification in particular is very tricky, very nuanced, and contains many pitfalls for even those employers who are otherwise knowledgeable and well-intentioned.

So what are the overtime exemptions exactly? Who qualifies? What must you do to make sure that your employees are properly classified, and, most importantly how can you make sure that your practices comply with the Fair Labor Standards Act so you do not fall prey to a Department of Labor audit – or worse, a lawsuit—resulting in unpaid overtime, liquidated damages, other fines and penalties in addition to your legal fees?
