Exempt vs. Non-Exempt

The questions surrounding who is exempt and who is non-exempt from overtime  obligations under the FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) have spurred hundreds of class action lawsuits costing employers hundreds of millions of dollars in monetary damages. Employers must struggle with understanding the different types of exemptions (executive, managerial, administrative, professional, etc.) as well as what actions can jeopardize those exemptions, and what the overtime ramifications of misclassification can be.
