How Do I Know If I Am An Exempt Or Nonexempt Employee?
California has strict laws that protect employees. Under state law, all nonexempt employees are entitled to overtime while “exempt” employees are not. Managers are typically considered “exempt.” However, determining who should be considered a manager can be tricky.
In general, “managers” who spend half their workdays performing the same tasks as regular, non-managerial employees are not really managers. No matter what their job title says, they are “nonexempt” and entitled to overtime. This means even salaried employees may be entitled to overtime.
Other employees considered “exempt” from overtime include:
- Executives
- Administrators
- Professionals
- Computer software employees
- Outside salespersons
- Union members
- Cab drivers
- Actors
If you haven’t been designated as “exempt,” you are a “nonexempt” employee and entitled to overtime pay.
