Executive, Professional and Administrative Employees
Executive, administrative, professional, and outside sales employees may be exempt, meaning that they can be excluded from the federal minimum wage and overtime pay requirements. If you are “exempt,” this means that your employer is not required by law to give you pay for overtime work.
Managers, Supervisors, Assistant Managers and Associate Managers
Many employees who are classified by their employers as “salaried managers” or “supervisors” are entitled to overtime pay. This is because their actual job duties do not exempt them from FLSA regulations.
Whether your job duties are truly classified as manager or supervisor is very fact specific. Note that many of these same rules and problems apply to “assistant managers” and “associate managers” as well.
