Misclassification Of Employees As Exempt Or Nonexempt

Located in San Diego, Advantage Law Group has been protecting the rights of California workers since 1999. We will fight to get you the overtime you deserve.
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.
Our lawyers will examine your working situation to determine if you have been misclassified as “exempt” and fight to get you the unpaid overtime you deserve.
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.
