The White-Collar Exemptions

 

Correct employee classification is essential.

The most important, and often most troublesome, exemptions to the minimum wage and overtime requirements under federal and state law are the white-collar exemptions.  The FLSA and most state laws provide exemptions for “any employee employed in a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional capacity.”  The statutes typically do not define these terms; however, USDOL has issued extensive interpretive materials on the subject.  This white paper reviews how to qualify for the executive, administrative, or professional exemptions and discusses the duties test and the salary basis test.
