Welcome to One Minute of Overtime, where I will share insights on Labor and Employment Law topics, mostly related to minimum wage and overtime compliance issues.
Compliance in this area of law is nuanced and technical, so it is critical for employers to audit and adjust their practices to remain compliant, so stop by to stay up-to-date and in-the-know.
An employee is exempt pursuant to the administrative exemption, and not subject to the minimum wage and overtime requirements, if the employee is paid consistent with the salary basis test (or, in some cases, a sufficient hourly rate) and their primary duty is the performance of work requiring advanced knowledge (predominantly intellectual in character) and which includes work requiring the consistent exercise of discretion and judgment where the advanced knowledge is in a field of science or learning and the advanced knowledge is customarily acquired by a prolonged course of specialized intellectual instruction.
